Re: [Dev-C++] Error message

Do you have Hide File Extensions for Known types active? If so then it is
possible that the extension put on the file is .exe but you just can't see
it. Alternativly the association for your zip files is wrong. The message
you are getting is suggesting that you are trying to execute the file, which
is wrong if it is a zip file. Try going to WinZip or whatever the
application of your choice it and opening the file through the File-Open
dialog it supplies. That should work. You may need to tell it to show all
files (*.*) instead of ".zip" only.
