| | Disappearing files after extraction! I think I had this before with another windows, I am sure it is something to do with windows security, admin rights, or antivirus. When I double click a self extracting exe, in this case an "lp.cab" language pack, it extracts fine, but then it vanishes. If I am super quick, I can highlight it and drag a copy to another location where it stays as a copy, but the original file again vanishes. Rather annoying. |

| | Hi, no, Just double clicking it, its one of those windows type exe files with the long names like fhsdjhfasidof643r64r646u538476rt34-en.exe LOL out pops an "lp.cab" directly, there is no option to extract "somewhere else" then the lp.cab disappears as I said, one time I was quick enough to grab and drag the file out to the desktop from inside the explorer window and that one stayed where it was. |

| Windows 7 Ultimate x86 build 7600 (XP, 98SE, 95, 3.11, DOS 7.10 on VM) + Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Lucid Lynx Chennai, India | You can try installing 7-Zip, and then instead of double clicking, right click -> 7-Zip -> Open archive. When the archive opens, you can extract to any folder you want. It should work. |
