Have you tried Stuffit Deluxe? A bit of a stretch, since there's
not much that SE won't open. Where did the file come from? Are you
sure that the file is in good condition, and that it was compressed
without errors in the first place (assuming it actually is a
compressed file)... and many other questions.
Thanks Peter
No I have not tried Stuffit Deluxe because it is my understanding
that the app Stuffit Expander within Stuffit Deluxe is the same as a
stand alone Expander. Wrong? I have no need to buy Stuffit deluxe as
I never stuff files and the free Stuffit Exp does the file opening
requirements I do need.
The file I am trying to obtain is the firmware upgrade 3.1.7 for my
Sipura 3000 VOIP unit. This file is a download from <http://
www.sipura.com/support/index.htm> which gives a zip file which
expands to an exe file and a .bin file. It is the latter i am trying
to open. I have no trouble opening other files with my versions of
Stuffit Expander so I assume Stuffit Exp is not the problem. Indeed
the zip file is expanded by the same Stuffit Exp. Many other folk
have downloaded, expanded and then installed that file without
trouble [subscribers to a Whirlpool forum]. My first thought was that
I had a corrupt download but then firstly the zip file would not have
opened [which it did so] and secondly other users would have reported
the same problem [which was not the case]. I have repeated the
download from that web site several times over the last two days with
the same result.
Thus I seem to be stonewalled and I am looking for another app which
will open a .bin file.
Any further thoughts?
