Can't open install file.

gurkan · 08-10-2009, 12:13 PM

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!

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

gurkan · 08-10-2009, 01:00 PM

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.

open a terminal:

Code:

chmod +x RegnumOnlineInstall_32
./RegnumOnlineInstall_32

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

Copy and paste from terminal is even easier
