Hi thanks, for the response.
Yes, I have installed 7-zip for 64 bit (and am using 64bit OS!). I removed 7-Zip and all OH zipped files and downloaded both afresh. I get the same message. All the other MODS have been fine, and I can select them in zipped form and view archive as well. It is clearly working for others so I don't know what I'm doing wrong?
- Download (scan for virus) and install 7-zip for 64
- Download OH 2.5 - using Mozilla this goes direct to my downloads folder.
- Normally I then scan it with Avira, (after the first couple of attempts I haven't bothered to rescan I'm using the link from the thread),
- Then I 'extract files' to the MODS folder within SH5, however as I'm in the process of getting Sobers' megamod installed, I'm simply saving to a file on my desktop called 'MODS' and then plan to play the tutorial, shift all the MODS into the MOD folder in SH5 and install with JGSME.
I get the archive problem whether extracting files or using the open archive option which for all other mods shows the folders within; I don't normally touch this 'open archive', I was just trying things out when it wasn't working.
If I can't get 2.5 to work, is there a download link for 2.4 and the fix patch for it? I've spent some time searching for these but couldn't find them ( I get redirected to 2.5) or the one random web location I did find for 2.4 gave a virus warning when I clicked on it so I left it alone.
It may be worth mentioning I had OHII 2.2 sucessfully installed before, but not 2.4.
I actually bought SH5 a second time on disc because I had the steam version ,....oooo the frustration; makes me want to give it a d4mn good thrashing!
