Problem extracting install.dat with Winzip.
Has the .dat file changed format? I used to be able to open it with Winzip but now I can't. I want to have a look at the PHP code, but I don't have a server with DBI or DBD etc, and can't figure out how to install them on XP. Any advice on how to extract the .dat file would be appreciated :)
Cheers,
Michael Bray

You need to rename it to tar.

Re XP

Get the perl binary from activestate.com and install then use the command prompt and ppm to install DBI/DBD

ppm install DBI
ppm install DBD::mysql

Michael:

Try WinRAR. It works seemlessly with these archives - and there is no need to rename the files.

Hi Michael,

No, it extracts ok with winzip here? It hasn't changed at all.

Cheers,

Thanks. Didn't know I had to rename it to .tar

The code looks really good, been looking over it for the last 20 minutes.
