That's odd. Works fine for me on WinXP SP2.

Are you using Vista, by any chance, Mikhayl?

If you are, you may need to try running it as Administrator or in XP Compatibility mode or both. Then again, it might not work with Vista at all.

Forgot that... I'm using XP SP3, also I remember last year I used the SH4 version of the extractor without any problem. I don't get it

I just loaded the TE up and it worked just fine.

Maybe it was a corrupted download? I know sometimes using one archive program to extract files made by by another can also cause problems, like Izarc having issues with properly extracting 7-zip files.

I'll double check the archive on my end to make sure there were no errors in compression.

I don't think it can be the archive, the program seems to work fine, I have the main window, I can look for folders, and when I point to the .BFI file, the program loads it but when the progress bar reaches 100% the error message pops up. When I click OK the program doesn't even crash, it keeps "working" though I can't do anything

Any chance the BFI file might be corrupted?

Or did you have this trouble with any BFI file?

I could try re-zipping it with my own BFI file included, along with a small "how-to" guide I found in the folder for the older version.

EDIT:

Tell you what, give me a few minutes to zip everything up and then I'll PM you with a link to download.
