How to extract properly
 By tb100 - Posted on September 18, 2003 - 04:10:13   (#8858)

Quite simple to extract properly:

1) Extract the Data Files somewhere (/boot/apps/). That will create an "/etw" directory and put all the data files into there.

2) Extract the binary directly into the /etw directory (/boot/apps/etw/)

3) Go into /boot/apps/etw with tracker, and double click the "etw" application to start it.

Zip file problems - use CLI unzip

I saw the same problem with the zip file when using Expand-O-Matic, however, if you unzip it from the command line it works just fine; I tried unzip -t to test it, no errors. What's stranger is I re-zipped it with Zip-O-Matic, and then it worked fine. The file sizes were off by 70 bytes or so (my zip being slightly larger), I have NO idea what might cause that... Oh well. Use command-line unzip and it'll work fine.

Once the data file has been expanded, it appears to work perfectly. Thanks for the port!

datafiles zip is not corrupt :)

Heyho. Just got the same error like Konrad.

If you want to extract both zips in the same dir, it is not possible, because the binary zip extracts the file "etw" directly into that dir. The datafiles zip would like to extract to "etw/*" according to the content listing. This will not work as the existing "etw" is a binary and no dir...

Extract the datafiles to another directory. Create "bla" and extract it to there :)

GoodOldGames, you should make sure that both zips have the same file structure for the root. Either make both zips extract to "etw/" or to current directory.

I checked the data file again, but nothing seems to be wrong with it. Maybe you download was aborted due to some network problem.

I will upload the data file to a second server soon.

You can also try to download the data from the official ETW homepage. But make sure you lower case all files !!! and create an empty directory called temp !!!
