Can't open install file.

[gurkan]

Hi!

Got Ubuntu 9.04. Downloaded RegnumOnlineInstall_32. When i try to open the file to extract all the files it says "Doesent support archive type" in swedish.

Thanks! :lightsabre:

Does the file have permission to be executed as a program?

[gurkan]

yes, i am the owner of the file -_-
do i miss something to begin with, do i need something other than the "archivemanager" ?

To make a file executable you need to check a box at the bottom of the Permissions tabs, simply being owner of the file isn't enough.

[_dracus_]

open a terminal:


chmod +x RegnumOnlineInstall_32
./RegnumOnlineInstall_32


Replace 32 by 64 if you are using the 64 bits installer.

Thnx, that helped!

lol, this is the most simplest but effective answer i've ever seen..

Copy and paste from terminal is even easier :p
