PERCIVA11 Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 How do you open RAR files? I double click it, but I just get this pop up :\ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahmufcwafc Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 1. Extract your downloadYour download is likely to be in one of 4 formats:.zip .rar .7z .fmf If you file is .fmf format then skip to section 2 but the first three are all compressed formats that you'll need to extract first. You're going to need some software installed to be able to do that (choose which one depending on your Operating System): Windows XP/2000/Vista: 7-Zip (Choose the most recent .exe. At time of writing it's this) MacOS X: The Unarchiver 7-Zip is installed using the .exe you download. To install The Unarchiver simply double click on the .zip file you download from their website then drag the program it extracts (called 'The Unarchiver') into your apps folder. Once installed, create a new folder somewhere you can keep track of (on your desktop for instance) and place your downloaded graphics zip, rar or 7z in it. Now we extract: Windows: Right click on your zip, rar or 7z. Choose 7-Zip from the menu, then select 'Extract Here'. MacOS X: Right click (or ctrl + click) on your zip, rar or 7z. Choose 'open with' then select 'The Unarchiver'. From this thread Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PERCIVA11 Posted August 18, 2009 Author Share Posted August 18, 2009 From this thread My file is RAR, and I right clicked it and it didn't say extract all files. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahmufcwafc Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 That's because you don't have the software to handle rar files installed. Download 7-Zip as said above and you should be fine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PERCIVA11 Posted August 18, 2009 Author Share Posted August 18, 2009 Okay cheers, don't mean to bother you mate but I'm trying to convert FMRTE using RAR, and it's just not working, do you know why not, if not it doesn't matter, cheers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahmufcwafc Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Have you extracted the file, then clicked the file that comes up after the extraction? Should be easy to install. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wbabaggie Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 You need winrar to extract rar files. This link should do the trick although I haven't tested it myself. http://download.cnet.com/WinRAR/3000-2250_4-10007677.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PERCIVA11 Posted August 18, 2009 Author Share Posted August 18, 2009 Have you extracted the file, then clicked the file that comes up after the extraction? Should be easy to install. I think I have, but it just says FMRTE as stopped working. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahmufcwafc Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Okay, looks like you've done that properly. Have you downloaded the microsoft .net framework required like it says on the FMRTE site? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PERCIVA11 Posted August 18, 2009 Author Share Posted August 18, 2009 Okay, FMRTE thread then. It's downloading now cheers, but it's taking ages.. once it's finished, what do I do then? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahmufcwafc Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Yeah, should take a while to install as it's a pretty big file iirc. It's been a while since I installed it, but from what I remember you install it the way you'd install anything else - just double click the file and go though the install wizard.

PERCIVA11 Posted August 18, 2009 Author Share Posted August 18, 2009 Should do yeah. Sorry If I'm bothering you with this, but I double clicked the v2 one and it says stopped working, does the microsoft thing only work with v3? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahmufcwafc Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 It should work with all versions of FMRTE. Should probably try asking in the FMRTE thread, you might get more help there than I can offer you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
