mark robathan Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 i have downloaded 10.3 update but when i attempt to extract file to update, it just launches FM2010 game? I have added '.exe' but still this does not work? What appliction/programme should the update use to extract? - it currently uses the game which is not right Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poize Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 You shouldn't need to extract. You've download an .exe file right? So just double click it and follow the instructions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vic Taylor Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 when i double click it launches FM2010 the game! It sounds like you've selected to open it with FM10 before you changed the end of the file name. I think you need to delete the patch and download it again.

If it does and that was the problem, a good piece of advice is to never tick the 'always open with this program' box when choosing programs to runs files with.

Try re-downloading it again. It sounds like you might have a corrupt download. Man... things aren't going easy for you, are they? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim_Cdy Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 My method was to add it to a WinRar archive and DC click the file from witin WinRar. The installer then booted from there. Forget about the file association with FM if you have already tried, it does not change. As long as you are using an .zip archiver, that will work. Don't extract it, just run it from the Archiver!

Tim_Cdy Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Ok. still rename the file with a .exe suffux at the end of the file. Then add the file to an archive ( I would suggest WinRar). Whatever .zip archive you have, run the archiver. The file should be donated being a .zip, whether that a WinZip or WinRar does not matter(download at WinRar at cnet.com/zdnet.com) then within the archiver (App) just double click the file and the installer should be accessed. The installer will dump the files to the data dir and everything should be fine. Any probs just repost. You should not have to redownload the patch. It will work trust me!
