Freeboy Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 Demo I downloaded a huge 600Plus file, I click on it and nothing, gives me a list of programs to use to open it with .....HELP! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moon Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 The demo is an exe file if I'm not mistaken, doubleclick it to run it. Where did you download from? It's of course possible that it's a compressed archive on some mirrors, like a RAR or ZIP file, not sure. Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freeboy Posted April 18, 2007 Author Share Posted April 18, 2007 not an exe file, it just says file.. the bottum most link on the DL page Gamezone Theatre_of_war_demo_setup 653megs type file no extention [ April 18, 2007, 02:57 AM: Message edited by: Freeboy ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moon Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 Hm, I just checked and Gamezone seems to be using some kind of downloader for its file, using DigitalRiver technology (which, at least to me, never really worked flawlessly). Not sure what to say except to either contact Gamezone or download from another mirror. Sorry. Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirtweasle Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 I downloaded last night, can't recall the source, and it looks like I got a zipped folder and also an icon / shortcut on my desktop. Am I supposed to open the folder and click the .exe? Or is that little icon a shortcut to the setup and/or the install loader? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moon Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 We only put out an exe file. If it's something else, then the mirror must have added it... Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtweasle Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 Gotcha, had to leave for work before I could try installing it, I'll ignore the icon thingy for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
