Cat Extractor Help Needed

[F117NightHawk 1]

I need some help with the Cat extractor. I'm running Windows 7, the extractor is is installed in C:\Weaponeditor. The problem is when I go to extract a file it says "Files Extracted" to where ever the cat file is. But when I go to the folder, nothing's been extracted. Any solutions?

Oops, Problem solved. It just didn't have permission to extract files to the "Program Files" folder. So stupid of me not to think of that.

it works MUCH better, expecially in Vista/7, if you DO NOT have the extrator exe (and the folder it resides in) in any of /Program Files folder. Mine is actually on the Desktop, in it's own folder (this is obviously for Skypat's original extractor, and not Gerwin's)

 

Place them at the ROOT of the C/, and as I mentioned, in it's own seperate folder.

 

Also, it's really advisable NOT to install the ANY of the 1stGen games to the default /Program Files or Program Files (x86) folders, but also to the root of C/. If installed in the Program Files folder, you'll probably find you can't make any edits to any of the inis (this is covered somwhere in the Knowledge Base, I just don't remember where!)

 

Done this way, you needn't worry about permissions issues
