Winrar and 7zip hate me!
 

I just got a new computer with Vista and so forth, and I'm all hooked up to the internet now so I downloaded RO. But when I try to unpack it with winrar I get this:

So I thought "Maybe Vista hates WinRAR, lets try 7-zip" annd I got this

I have downloaded the core RO file twice with the same results both times.
Oh, and only one file makes it into my RO folder "pdata.grf" with a size of 123,342kbs

vista = crap. Don't use it.

yeah winrar hasn't been updated to work with vista yet. Not sure about 7zip but I would assume the same thing.

what should I use for all my file extracting need then?

It looks like the file got corrupted somehow, maybe in download, maybe by some other means. No extractor can fix that, and it has nothing to do with your OS.

The easy solution would be to redownload.

I suggest power archiver, though I don't have vista and go is probably right about the file being corrupted.

I run Vista, and so does another person I know and we both extracted the files fine with Winrar (Or at least I did) so yeah, don't blame Vista for every shit-up a computer with it does. :B

Same as Xon. I've had it happen to me a few times on both Vista and XP (though my RaiRO extraction went smoothly), with WinRAR or 7zip, anything to extract really. It's probably just a corrupted file.

ok, thanks folks. I'll just download it again and see what happens

Try downloading from a different source this time: HTTP if you used Torrents, torrents if you used HTTP, etc.

Not much choice with the RaiRO client, although it's certainly sound advice anywhere else. :p
