Novell Download File Location 2

[tmattson]

I've downloaded the ifolders 3.26 client update however I am unable to locate where the files are being extracted to or if they are even being extracted at all. I double click the exe and it asks if I want to extract the files and I answer Yes but no files or at least I can't seem to locate them.

Any ideas?

They will extract to the same directory the .exe is in.

Open up a command prompt and extract from there instead of from the GUI. You'll actually get progress messages. It can take a loooong time for the package to verify it's integrity.

Just to expand... If you doubleclick, a lot of times (most of the time), it won't actually extract. This is due to a technicality that Novell hasn't addressed, and apparently is never going to. If you didn't have long folder names, it would be fine, but almost anywhere you download to now does have long names.

I use WINRAR to extract my downloads.. I can avoid the very lengthy verification and also don't have to go to the command prompt. I can just download to my desktop, then Right Click - extract to...
