erik_christensen3 Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 <p>Which software do you use to open the downloaded software.<br> I used to have a software to open RAR files, which has gone in connection with<br> installation of XP.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Williams Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 <p>You should have downloaded a self-extracting archive with a name like 'F-D700-V101W.exe' (Windows may hide the .exe extension, depending how you have it set up). Double-clicking the file should decompress it, creating a folder containing the update ('D7000101.bin').</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erik_christensen3 Posted June 6, 2009 Author Share Posted June 6, 2009 <p>Richard - sorry the problem is the doble-clicking is not creating the folder with the update.<br> I have just updated Windows XP a couple of days ago. Seems that I will have to contact the IT person in the company, as I have had such files previously without any problems.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walterh Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 <p>I know of no update to XP that will create such an effect that you cannot run an exe file (at least not without a comment).</p> <p>The file you downloaded may be corrupt.<br> This happens sometimes and you just try to download again.<br> I bet this is your problem.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsd230 Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 <p>You might also try right clicking on the file and choose extract to and see if that works.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frank_skomial Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 <p> DOwnload from Nikon site will give yiou the latest software. Not sure how you purchased your D700, but it usually comes with 2 CD discs of software, one is the 60 days free use, and the other is your forever. Try them first.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erik_christensen3 Posted June 6, 2009 Author Share Posted June 6, 2009 <p>The XP was a re-installation, but I have an online updating.<br> I have downloaded the file from NikonEurope several times, but not change, so obviously something wrong with my PC even that I have online update of antivirus/spyware.<br> Frank, the 2 CDs which you get/got in US have never been delivered with any purchase here in Vietnam - we are lucky if we can convience the seller go give 12 months warranty.<br> I will have my PC check Monday am, and I thank you for your responses.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Williams Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 <p>I'd suggest trying a different web browser for the download. I've just tested Firefox on the Nikon Europe site and the download works as expected (archive self-extracts when run).</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom_luongo1 Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 <p>Open source <strong><a href="http://7-zip.org/">7-Zip</a> </strong> will handle RAR and a bunch of other formats. But as previously mentioned, you shouldn't need any utilities to run a self-extracting archive.</p> <p> </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
