windows cannot open this file

[CrimsonTide]

Havent played game in a while,but when I did I couldnt save or load anything.So I uninstalled and reinstalled(and havent played yet) but when I try to install patch it says windows cannot open this file.Do you want to find a program to open it. Is this something new?I dont remember having to do this last time.Ive saved the patch but still cant open it.


Hope this isnt a stupid question.:)

What's the file extension? Is it an EXE file, ZIP, 7z, RAR?

If it's an EXE file then I'd say your download is corrupt and you should try downloading it again.

I'm assuming you're running XP/Vista/7? All of these three should be able to handle ZIP files without any other software.

If it's a RAR or 7z you may need to install an extractor capable of handling these files. WinRAR is a good one. It can extract both kinds.

Did you get Sh4 without the Uboats and trying to patch it to 1.4, this should happen automatically. Are you running as Administrator?
