you dont need winzip it will take the files out itself and put it in c:/ or wherever your decide


RE: HELP help HELP by Plik on 01-18-2005 at 10:10 PM

A rar file is anouther type of compression, like zip.
A self extracting zip is just a file you run that automaticaly unzips with out you needing to use winzip or a similar program,

For the record, people could've helped you much faster if you stated the complete errormessage you had (including the errornumber).

And to the others: switching servers is rarely going to help...
