Guest Stmar Posted July 20, 2007 Posted July 20, 2007 I downloaded the redistributable file for .NET Framework but cannot get it to unzip. It is file dotnetfix. I know I have zip capability but it does not give me that option with this file. Any suggestions?
Guest Tom Willett Posted July 20, 2007 Posted July 20, 2007 As was pointed out in your previous thread, it's NOT a zip file, it's an executable. Sort of a self-contained zip file. When you double click on it, It will extract the files you need.

Try using /? as a command-line operand to see if this will reveal its syntax. Even if it doesn't have a help option that may cause an error message to be displayed *after* the archive is extracted to a temporary directory. While that error message is displayed the extracted files are often available provided you can find out which directory they were extracted into. ) For a specific example of an application of that technique see MVP Patrick Philippot's recent tip in the WU NG: http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx?dg=microsoft.public.windowsupdate&mid=c31980b2-0df6-44d8-b46e-65e02121ea73&sloc=en-us HTH Robert Aldwinckle ---
