from someone who is very dumb in IT. I have the FS2 Crew update downloaded sitting in my download folder, prroblem is it then asks me what program to use to open it and where to extract the files to

First of all, no question is dumb, if you ask a question it shows intelligence (as far as I am concerned).

 

Your best bet is to download WinRAR, its a FREE file extract program that is super easy to use. Download it and install, then open your FS2Crew update with WinRAR.

 

EDIT - I am sure admins will move this to FS2 Crew's support forum?!

Hi Pat,

 

Just extract the EXE in the zip file to your desktop.

 

Double left click the EXE to start the installer.

 

Cheers,

First of all, look to see if you have a "Extract all files" option at the top of your screen showing folder content. If you do, click that and it'll ask you where you want to put the extracted files... I always leave them in the suggested location which is usually a folder in my downloads folder.

 

Once the files are extracted, just double click the .EXE file to get things going...

So how  you doing it  with the other pay ware  that you have bought, its be the same thing  you been doing  before  since its no different

Thanks guys all done ok

Happy Thanksgiving to all my fellow American simmers
