 Posted: Sat, 21st Mar 2009 19:40 Post subject: Vista problems with exe's |
|
 |
Im using winrar and within winrar Ill have 3 files, a txt a html and the exe. Ill select all of them and extract them to a certain directory and the other files will extract with no problem, but the exe doesnt. There is no error message or notification of anything, it just will not extract. I open windows explorer to open the binder and the two other files are present, but not the exe. There are no hidden files and i run a search in the directory and it shows no exe's a present. Ive tried two different binders from two different sources and tried extracting to different locations. I had the idea of downloading the program on my other computer and trying to get to it through the network, but I shouldnt have to do these things. Ive shutdown the trial for Norton and that also does not solve the problem. Thanks for the assistance

I also have troubles with my exes, they just wont stop calling, oh well.
serious now
After searching google (hint hint) i found
1. try 7zip to extract it
2. if your UAC (user account control) is turned off it appaearantly gives problems as well
3. right click on the file -> properties and there should somewhere be something like "this came from another computer".
4. long shot idea from me, try disabling windows antivirus / security shit. im not talking about norton, im talking about windows defender and the likes
unfortunatly i cant test it myself, so let us know if it helped

Maybe Windows Defender screwes up. Check its logs.
