Try WinRar to extract mods.

Thank you for suggestion for win-rar we downloaded it ( for 64 bit) and had the following result:
! C:\Users\John\Downloads\GWX_3_St_Naz_and_SchlueseV 4.7z: Cannot open GWX 3 St Naz and Schluese and other units V4\MODS\GWX - Alternative Flotillas\documentation\Alternative Flotillas Readme.txt

Win 7 problems can often be pernission related, check UAC

[frau kaleun]

@johnlax: did you install the game in your Program Files directory? Win7 can be very picky about changes being made to anything in there, as lafeeverted has said check the UAC settings, I turned it off completely so I don't know what it will prevent you from doing depending on how it's set up but it's a good place to start. :yep:

Guys can you tell me what a UAC is? Sorry for basic numbie questions here

How to disable in Win 7:

Just be aware there are security implications (which is why a lot of people leave it enabled). Still no harm in disabling (at least temporarily) to see if it's causing a conflict.
