Now hopefully the install.exe >will appear among other files. Double click at install.exe and then ....... Sorry, it doesn't work. There is no winzip.exe on my computer. Just an icon that is a shortcut to WinZip. When I click on it WinZip automatically unzips it and installs it only to produce empty folders. When it gets to the install process a DOS window appears. It asks if you want to install it to a directory called Rebel12 (y/n). I type in "y" and then it instantly says installation complete when I know it's supposed to take some time, maybe 40 seconds or so with a progress bar showing. After that all I get are empty folders. My Rebel12.zip file is about 1.43 Mb in size when I click on properties so that can't be the problem. How can I open up a winzip.exe file to produse the empty window that is supposed to appear?
