W0lle 1050 Posted August 9, 2010 Ah the demo, thought you meant the full game. I changed the thread title so it is more clear. I don't have the demo though so I'm clueless about the installation process but I'm sure someone who has the demo will help you out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Petko 10 Posted August 9, 2010 you should unzip it with a program like winrar... it has multiple files in it, and if you directly click the exe it just unpacks that without the others... so extract all the contents of the zip into a folder and run it from there Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can do that with a software which can unzip it, like winrar. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Petko 10 Posted August 9, 2010 its not a zip file it just says A2OA_Demo It must be a zip file, because ive checked the download link you gave me. Then maybe accidently you removed the ".zip" extension. Put it back, and voilà , you got youself a zip file. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Qxs 10 Posted August 9, 2010 you must have file extensions hidden... or some other horrible problem... go download WinRAR... from rarsoft I think it is.. if you can't open it with that program then you have a file that needs to be deleted and redownloaded... .
