Running games via 7-Zip files

[Player-San 501]

Hey guys
I have tried to download and extract numerous games here via 7-Zip file manager when the window file manager doesn't open the downloaded files because of "catatrosphic failure".
But 7-Zip file manager also refused to open up the files because they "can't find the UnityPlayer.dll" even though it was listed among the downloaded files.
Any ways to bypass/solve this issue?

Well, you can't run compressed files. But you could give winrar a shot. I've found that between the three, I've never had problems extracting stuff.

Move compressed file into folder of your choosing - right click file - go to 7-zip - select extract here or extract files (for extract files you need to select destination folder)

Now double click the exe.

I feel it needs to be more clear: click the exe in the unzipped folder, from eg. file manager.
NOT from within 7zip manager/ winrar/ bandizip/ etc.

Those programs are only for handling archives (un/zipping) and once that is done should be closed.

You're right, that was my bad thank you.

Especially since, view the symptoms he describe, OP is doing the wrong thing.
