So when i try to run the "zip file" after installing PW with the all I get is a command prompt thingy that pops up for a second then dissapears. Yes I have WinRAR, and Winace. I downloaded them both but nothing seems to work.

    That's definitely an exe, not a zip. <_<

    You may have just gotten a virus. Run a scan with whatever software you happen to have, and also post where you downloaded it from.

    Errr well it a zip file(s). It's a zip file that has been converted to self-extracting executable file, hence the (.exe) extension.

    Seeing as how it's not working, I think it'd be better for him to play it safe rather than sorry >.>

    I just know that when I downloaded it, it wasn't in a self extracting exe form x:

    Thats NO sfx zip file or it would have had the winzip icon.

    You downloaded a virus or something similar. Use the proper download from the website and things should work better. And since uve done that make sure you have some kinda anti virus on ur pc ><

    PWI is a self-extracting executable zip file. Do you even know what self-extracting zip file is?

    PWI has always been a regular zip archive, as far as I remember... unless they changed it recently.

    Which site did you use, heyitsme? The direct download or one of the mirrors? The direct download will first download an executable program (the downloader than gets the zip file).
