Yet Another Noob With a Plea For Help!

Welcome aboard.
Make a folder on your desktop, and label it GWX. Put all the downloaded files in it; then click on the install file, and it should go.
Check back it you have a problem.

You need to download ALL the .bin files (7 i think) and put them in that folder you created on your desktop along with the .exe setup file.
Once thats done just run the exe and it`ll unpack and install GWX2 from the bin files.

You shouldnt need to unzip/unpack or extract anything yourself

Start over. Make a folder anywhere on your computer, label it GWX. Download all files to this folder (don't do anything to them). I think there are about 5 or 6 bin files and one exe file. When you have them all loaded into the GWX folder, double click on the exe file and everything will download to SHIII.

This is what should be in ONE folder:

GWX2-1.bin
GWX2-2.bin
GWX2-3.bin
GWX2-4.bin
GWX2-5.bin
GWX2-6.bin
GWX2-7.bin
GWX2.exe

WELCOME ABOARD!

Thanks for the welcome, guys.

I thought I was making progress but instead the frustration intensifies.
The first time I downloaded GWX I ended up with the install wizard only, so I just went to another site and came away with a BIN file...but now I don't know how to unpack it..I somehow managed to convert it over to RAR which looked familiar to me and then extracted it to my GWX desktop folder (thinking it would extract all the files to there) but when I opened up the folder all that was there was the original BIN file....back to square one.

This is where my lack of knowledge with these things really comes back to bite me..

Just saw your post, danlisa....I'll come back to your link after I wake up. Maybe things will be clearer to me after some sleep...Thanks much!
