I can unpack the entire zip except the exe
Cannot open output file: Access is denied
I couldn't find "access is denied" or "cannot open output" when I used the search thread feature.
I see talk of false virus readings, so I tried making the folder it's in an exception, no difference.
Tried downloading another exe, which also came in as a .zip, and couldn't unpack it from the zip, same message.
I see there's a password mentioned in the OP, but I see no way to enter a password. Perhaps that's it? But that's strange that all other files unpack just fine without it, and that the other exe that was posted on the last page also has this problem, so that may not be it.
I'm not sure what to try next.
Oh. This is strange. Extracting the entire game's zip to its own folder makes it impossible to extract the exe into it, no matter what
But
If i extract the exe to a different folder, it will extract. I cannot move the exe into the game's folder, but I CAN move all of the game files into this new folder I have the EXE in.
What the fuck happened here? Why would that work? Why is the folder I created automatically be breaking things? It's not because the folder ends in .1d, because I tried it again but made 7-zip create a folder simply called kingsfall. Same thing. I have to extract all the files, then I have to move those files out of the folder I extracted them to, because seemingly no matter what, that folder won't allow the .exe
I'm so fucking lost.
But it is working now
