Vista's defaults are to hide the 'tail' of a filename of a known type. If you know what EXE files are (which Vista knows by default), a "Perfect World International.exe" file will only show up as "Perfect World International" from the file view. You can get more detailed information by right-clicking the file and selecting "Properties". The suffix will be listed as Type of File.
From the "Properties" window, select the Security tab, and make sure that your current username has Full Control of the Perfect World Intenational file. Then try right-clicking it, and then clicking Run As Administrator...
If that doesn't work, chances are your download was corrupted midtransmission. Ryuuzaki has a good guide on the matter, and his Alternative Method for Corrupt Files using Direct Download (with a quick tweak for the changes to the installer) may be able to save you a remarkable amount of time :Download a bit torrent program, such as uTorrent.
Download the torrent controller and open it with your torrent program.
You should then be asked where y ou want to save the file. Browse to the directory where the original Perfect World International.exe file is located (should be my Documents\Downloads, and click OK. The torrent program should then start checking the integrity of the file and correct any corrupted files. You can also right-click on the file in the download area, and select Force Re-check to make extra sure.
kammie has an alternative guide if the above is confusing.1. download the torrent
2. double click it, or just open it with utorrent
3. LET IT DOWNLOAD FOR LIKE 1 MB ---> this way, utorrent generates the entire file
4. now close utorrent and the download
5. copy your corrupted zip file that you have downloaded before to the folder that utorrent created and overwrite that file
6. open utorrent but do NOT start the download, instead rehash it by right clicking and selecting 'forece recheck' (or something like this, currently do not have bittorrent client installed)
7. after awhile (about 3 minutes if u have a fast computer) it should say u have near 100% download
8. continue download[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]0 -
