Hey Bolt or anyone else?

I installed the first two programs and I just downloaded the zip proram. But it said the folder was invalid when it came time to designate the path. Does it matter where I put it?
For right now I put it on the desktop.

[Bolt]

Did you choose to run or save it?

If you run it, it should automatically install to C:\Program Files

I think.

[MiaNutzy1]

Thanks for the fast response Bolt!

I choose RUN... it asked for me to browse for a place to put it. It had /7zip or something like that.

I was tempted to put it in program files, but put it in the desktop for now so I could find it easily.

I wonder if I click on its ICON it will put in program files.
Or if I cut it and move it to the program files folder from desktop will it work?

Everything was going ok it seemed until it came to downloading the zip program.

If you RUN it, you have to install in program files. You can SAVE it on your desktop, so you can run it later. Make sure you run, and install to program files.

I went ahead and deleted the folder that was stored on the desktop. I am just going to try DLing again and choose save instead. Then run it and see if that makes the process of where to put it automatic.

Thanks again Bolt!

OK. I saved it. The wizard to install it worked better, but you still have to browse and select where to put it. So I put it in the program files on drive C. I am crossing my fingers this will work. I am excited to have some new games to play.

[Bolt]

I still think you're installing in the wrong place. I don't have 7-Zip, I have WinRar. The path for that is C:\Program Files\WinRAR

So 7-Zip should be installed at C:\Program Files\7 Zip (or something like that)

It has to be in C:\Program Files. Not just on disk C

[MiaNutzy1]

OK i think i have figured out what was wrong (or incomplete).
The 7zip link went to the east dl site. I DL again and tried a mirror site in SEATTLE (west), and the path where the files were to go was was complete. The mirror site worked and had a full pathway on it whereas the east coast DL site did not. I ran it and it went straight into program files. Yeah!

Thanks for the help Bolt. But now I get to pull out more hair trying to install the games. Oh fun! Not!

add:
Oh why when I did quote your post these funny tongue out smiles pop up in your post?

Actually, it's a bug in vBulletin where it runs the PHP stripslashes function on everything inside a quote box, meaning that backslashes get dropped unless you manually double them when you quote a post. You can't really expect anyone to realize that you have to do this, especially since it isn't documented anywhere...

[Bolt]

I didn't realize I had to do that either. I just noticed that slashes and stuff got dropped

hey umm like step 7 - 9.. ok i get to the window where it has the xbox 360 and the zune and when i click on the zune and then next the next window says no zunes were found. and like my zune is connected.... so umm i am confussed please help!!!!

[Bolt]

Confussed?

Try disconnecting your zune, closing out of XNA, then open XNA and reconnect again. More detailed instructions on that are in Truck's guide in my games package.

ok, do you have a walkthrough for mac? i freakin hate this computer

[Bolt]

You'll have to dualboot for that. Microsoft didn't add support for the mac (or at least for the Zune software, which you need installed too)

You'll have to dual-boot or take it to a different computer that runs Vista or XP. Sorry.
