Title: Problems using WinHex
Post by: YuckTheFankees on December 16, 2011, 02:22:13 PM

I downloaded WinHex..and I'm having problems unzipping it. I have the 7- zip file manager installed..I double click setup.exe.. brings me to a blue screen that says WinHex and it asks for the destination folder (I select the folder)..then I push ok and it says "cant find the file specified"?

What am I doing wrong, I rarely deal with zip files.

Hmm, let's try to rule out the obvious problems.

Did you extract the contents of the zip file before running setup.exe?

If you're using Windows Vista/7, did you try to right-click setup.exe and "Run as administrator"?

It looks like this has a lot more than just a hex-editor, but I've been using Notepad++ with the hex-editor plugin. I suppose I will give this a shot since I've got in installed now. :P

For some reason it's working now, I had 3 different "extracting" options, so I tried all 3 and now it comes up.

thanks a lot for the help

Your issue was installing, not using, so how is it going now? Any problems with the actual operation of the program? You following a course or just doing your own exercises?
