Try adding a .exe to the end of the file if it's installed, not sure what file extension the installer for UE uses, but probably .zip.

I'll tell you what i've tried. I renamed it "RPG-X_Ultimate_Edition.exe" and tried to open it with 7-zip File Manager but it says "Can not open file 'C:\Program Files\TheLastOutpost\RPG-X_Ultimate_Edition.exe.7z' as archive"
I hope that tidbit helps.

It sounds like you're attempting to open a 7zip file.

Do you have 7zip installed?

Actually, it sounds like your trying to open a file that hasn't been properly downloaded

Ultimate Edition: http://www.last-outpost.net/rpgx/

The link above is a big file - a couple gigabytes, and will take a fair amount of to download. From your description, it sounds like the file is either failing, or is not fully downloaded and that you are trying to open the temporary file that acts as a place holder during the download.

The file type for Ultimate Edition is a .exe (you can right click on the file, go to properties and verify that it is a .exe otherwise known as an executable) if the file you are trying to open is anything other than a .exe, you're opening the wrong file.

Hey, any one of the answers above could be right. Could you give us a screenshot of the file with the extension?

Just so you guys know, it's supposed to download as a .7z because the installer requires two .bin image extensions to contain all of the files.

Hit the print screen button on your keyboard, then paste into an image editing program like Paint

Does anyone know why it won't open as a archive using 7-zip file manager?

Without more information about what's happening, it will be difficult to help you.

Could you please take screenshots and upload them for us to see the problem?

Are you downloading Standard or Ultimate? If Standard, that's because it's an executable installer. If Ultimate, your download probably cut out. If it's any smaller than 4 GB, that's your indicator.

If you downloaded it using Google Drive, it probably didn't work. I've tried doing it many, many...many... times, each time, the download fails right at the end.

Just download the version you want from here (http://www.last-outpost.net/rpgx/). If you get Standard, run the file once it's done. If you get Ultimate, extract the files inside of the archive with 7-Zip and then run the .exe.

Well standard is working. Thank you for your replies.
