Hi there, so long,
a question, is there any change in the way you compress the exe file? until now I was able to download it and extract it to put all the content at a personalized directory, and it always worked fine, but the last exe file does not allow me to extract it, is that the file is corrupt or that you changed the way?
thanks
Hmmm... Liviu used a new version of 7-zip. But it work fine here.
Where did you download (lalescu, timetabling or sourceforge?)
Which OS do you have?
1) Please verify the size and MD5 sum of the .exe file, to be similar to those on the download page. Total Commander has an option to compute the MD5 sum for a file, under Windows. Under GNU/Linux, use "md5sum filename".
2) I updated for FET 5.28.4 the Windows archiver to use 7-Zip 15.12 (2015-11-19) (before that I used for about 5 years 7-Zip 9.35 I think). It should work also on older 32-bit Windows, as some users checked.
Maybe you can write more on what you do: Windows version, on what directory you unpack, you set to unpack directly in a remote location, what error are you getting (a screen shot, maybe), etc.
A trick might be to rename the fet-5.28.4.exe to fet-5.28.4.7z and unpack it with 7-zip latest. But I would like to make sure that all users can unpack correctly the file, even without tricks.
Please let me know.
Ok, first let me tell you that updating 7z and using it directly make it work.....
Second, I work on linux (ubuntu) so I usually download the exe file, and in graphic environment I click right button > extract here, this does not work now.
but in the shell: 7z x fet-5.28.4.exe works fine!!
so thanks a lot
My GNU/Linux has 7z 9.20 and "7z x fet-5.28.4" works OK. So it is not a matter of updating 7z.
Thank you for the good news!
Anyway, I would advise you to compile FET from the sources, for GNU/Linux. It is not that difficult.
Well I download the win version for windows users...
this is my situation:
linux samba server
FET directory shared with the program in it, so windows users run it from there instead of installing fet locally in every windows client.
so when an update is out I just have to change files in FET SAMBA DIR instead of going to every windows station to update fet.
So, is not that I need it for linux.
Thanks again
This is a very advanced usage, and I am sure I would not be able to make it work. Thanks for sharing! Maybe others will learn from this.
