The other day I tried to download the new SSE app for each of my boxes.
The first day when I tried to get the right app for my boxes all I got was 7Z.
I tried again this morning and on one box it got the right app and it is running fine! ;D
Then I tried on my other boxes and never got the app again, :'( Only 7Zip.
What the devil am I doing wrong?
It did the same thing when I tried to download SSE2 app for my X2 box
Hellllp!.

All the downloads are 7Zip archives; files with the .7z extension. You may have configured the 7Zip application to automatically open those when download completes on one box, I'm not sure how to do that for the others. But if you have the download saved someplace double-clicking it will probably open it with the 7Zip program and allow you to copy the files. If not, the system should ask you what program you want to use to open the file and you'll need to tell it to open with 7Zip.

Did that. All that gets unpacked is 7ZIP.
I've got it in 3 places now. No app info or anything but 7Z.

hi Jim_S,

Are you sure you have 7-zip installed?
You may want to go http://www.7-zip.org/ to get the latest 7-zip installer (so far 4.42) and get it installed on your computer, then you can use it to unpack those .7z file.

BTW, the lasteest WinRAR should be able to unpack .7z also.

Hi Jim_S

It sounds to me like you're trying to open the 7zip installer file rather than the chicken download  :-\

what's the filename of the file you're trying to open?
