A friend is downloading a map from me that others have had no problems with and he get this message when he tries to import it in VP "unauthorized map error"...it's a rmp map large but no problems...He's also had problems downloading it while it was zipped and he got
"Can not open file: it does not appear to be a valid archive.
If you downloaded this file try downloading the file again"

But others have had no problems.....any idea's????

First, I don't know much about PCs and how they work but about a year ago I had problems downloading zip files. I had no idea what to do, a friend recommended reinstalling Windows on my laptop.
So that's what he did for me and I never had the problem again.
My friend said some dll or exe or something program/file was corrupted?
I still have no idea what he was talking about.
I'm using Vista 32 bit.

Not much help, I know, but that's what happened to me anyway.

Good luck.

Hi,

I had this issue with some of my users. (but additionally corrupt maps)
It could be solved by using a download manager software.

The maps are large around 250mb...other have been able to download the zipped files no problems....He was able to download and open a 5mb zipped file from the same server no problem....I uploaded the same file in it regular form "rmp" not zipped and he got the error message.....Could it be because of the size? and do you recommend a download manager software!
thanks
