Well, I guess you are trying to unzip the install package itself, right?
Is it on a Windows computer?

---

I have found, that uploading the instal file, then downloading it in a certen way allows you to view the files inside it.

I Download the file... And normaly with a zip file I see all the files like:

Install.php, Index.php, User.php, Core, Admin, Config.php Those things I don't see and if I push on the file I downloaded I see the same File again... I can't unpack it

I have a similar problem. I want to install it onto my server to try it out but I have no idea what to do with a .tar.tar file

Yeah its frustrating because this forum looks nice and I really want to set a forum up with it. But I cant unpack it

Okay I will explain well for all your questions as...well m3h...

nextBBS uses a system which compresses the information into a small file, and it also shows a index.php and instal.php so basicly only a few files to instal and create your nbbs exprince.

If your download dosnt show this when you first download it, nextbbs uses .tar, sadly this pisses me off quite a bit, but programs like winZIP allow .tar ect. if you say you want to unzip those curten types of files, by going to the option menu in winZIP.

If you have the files and a server, and you have uploaded the files, but the image of the files dont work, and you get an error, you must upload the file using FTP not cpanel.

If I try to open it with WINZIP it says:

WINZIP:

ERROR READING HEADER AFTER PROCESSING 0 ENTRIES.

I ALSO TRY IT WITH WIN ACE:

And there it's giving errors and saying things like: !HFAHlJ@**FVN*AO)

Stuff like that

Mabye you can make a zip for me.. Put it on your server and I can download it...

EDIT: Finally got the 2? files unpacked it with 7-zip

So all we have to do is upload the .tar :S LOL

---

Yes, well as I posted in another topic, I will definitely offer next release in zip format as well.

---

.tar
.zip

is a good idea, as somepoeple dont have access to porgrams which can decode the .tar information.
