Unzipping a .zip file with WinZip
We recommend unzipping large files with WinZip as it has proven to be the most reliable. Windows default compression program fails to unzip large files successfully. Download the WinZip at and install. Choose Classic mode when following the installation prompts. (We do NOT receommend using WinRAR as it may error on files larger than 2 Gigs.) To unzip your game do the following: Step 1 Right click your file and choose "Open with". This is important if WinZip is not your default Zip program. Choose WinZip from the list. Step 2 WinZip will open and on that screen choose Use Evaluation Version if you have not registered WinZip. Once WinZip is open, you will see all the files inside. DO NOT CLICK THEM. At this point click on the Extract button on the top row of buttons. Step 3 The next screen will ask you where to extract the files to. Type in a folder name to make a new folder to put all the files in. We DO NOT recommend you use Desktop. It is not a folder. You will fill your desktop with icons of all those files. Please make a folder to use. Step 4 Now press the Extract button on the bottom and watch all your files unpack into your new folder. Once complete, go to that new folder on your hard drive and run the Setup (usually called setup.exe) file inside it to install your new game. ** If you are unzipping multiple files for one game, make sure all files go into this folder and not into sub-folders or you may encounter errors when installing the game.
