thx for the reply but I dont have a problem extracing the archives, the problem is VS2008 does not want to compile the tessnet2 project for some reason. there is something off with the sln/prj files maybe, an example would be if i try right click on the project to view its properties nothing is happening, i dont get the properties window and when i try right click on the project and build the output is build:0, skipped:1
