1.97 multipart exe failure help

[N757QQ]

Hey all,

I have downloaded the multipart numerous times, and I have even opened them all with 7zip. They open and extract fine.

The issue I am having is when I attempt to run the exe to actually extract the files into the complete mod, I get an error reading

1. C:\Users\XXX\Downloads\\pm\promods-v197.exe
Cannot open the file as [7z] archive
is not archive

I have even opened the exe with 7zip and extracted it's content to verify it is not corrupted.

I am not sure what I am doing wrong here. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

N

After downloading just run .exe and archives automatically unpacking.

That is exactly what I have done. I even, after several failures with this error, opened all of the 4 other zip files with 7z and then attempted to run the exe with the same error again.

The issue is that when I do run the exe I get the error I typed out there.

Thank you all the same for your reply, but, yes, I did attempt to do just that.

Try to run the .exe as Administrator.

Maybe your version of 7zip is outdated

I've had this issue before.

If you have all the other files downloaded, then make a folder just for them (this is what I did). Then use the .exe file and extract the files to that folder and it should work fine


I think this works.

Make sure the .exe is in the same folder as the .001 .002 .003 and .004 files.

I found the solution. It was my own fault. I had downloaded 191 as well as 197. I originally could not get the 197 to work, so I tried 191, apparently I dropped the 191 parts in with the 197.exe and obviously, it was not going to work. Once I moved those out & put the 197 parts in, all was well.

Sorry for the late reply, but at hopefully someone will get a laugh out of my stupid moment, as much as I did.
