I keep getting error messages, Yesterday's app and game gave me the same message
Extracting to "C:\Users\Samm\AppData\Local\Temp\install\"
Use Path: yes Overlay Files: yes
Extracting readme.txt
Extracting Setup.exe
Error: Invalid compressed data to expand (inflate) the file
I have tried different decompression software and all of them give me an error message. I give up.

Using Firefox? It tends to corrupt some downloads. Best bet is to use a download manager (such as FlashGet).

Hi Sam, try using 7zip instead of winrar or winzip. I had a similar problem with some zipped files using both of these programs but 7Zip worked fine.
You can download 7 Zip HERE

MD5 Hash (for the geeks) do a down load and check the Hash to see if you get the full size, all the tools are at portable apps can run on USB or harddrive,try 7-Zip, winMd5Sum Portable - check md5 sums to verify files on the go

What's an MD5 Sum? An MD5 sum is a cryptographic hash used to verify the integrity of files. So, when you download a file, you can check what the publisher says the MD5 sum is and compare it to the MD5 sum of the file you have.
Hello encule and welcome to the forums. It would help if you were more specific in your troubles so we can try and assist you. Are you able to download and install the program but not activate it when activate.exe tries to connect? If so perhaps you have a firewall blocking it unknowingly. Are you not able to download or install the program at all? Perhaps the compressed file your downloading is being corrupted in the process. If so try using some of the above mentioned softwares for extraction. But if you elaborate more on what your problem is we will be sure to help anyway we can.
