Issues on Installing Bethesda's Free DF Download

Post by COL1N995 »

Hey everybody, I have Morrowind and Oblivion and loved them both, but i want to try Beth's earlier games so when I heard

that they released a free computer version of it to celebrate the fifteenth anniversary of the Elder Scrolls, I jumped on it. After

waiting through a horrendously long install time, I tried to open but it just says "the Compressed zip folder is unvalid"


Any help would be appretiated, thanks :)


P.S. Im not too good with computers in case you didnt realize by my newby question im sure, so please if you respond try to

minimize the computer language. Thanks Peeps

What are you trying to de-compress it with? It's probably in Winrar format (.rar). If so, you have two options:
1. Download a free trial of Winrar
2. Download 7zip, a completely free compression program that can open .rars, among other things.
BANG → !

Try downloading it from a mirror site (links are on the UESPWiki main page). They are fast downloads and shouldn't give you a problem.
This work is an attempt to understand the time I live in.
