Problem with installation

[obi]

Hello!
I have downloaded the executable files of installation of netrek from the site but when I open the application a window it tells me "this file contains invalid data"  . My operating system is Windows Xp. Can you help me, please?

What path(drive letter and folder name) did you install Netrek too?  Have you tried uninstalling then reinstalling?

I am trying to use MacTrek. I have downloaded 1.5.0 but when I click the icon nothing happens. I tried looking in the contents folder but I found nothing of help, nothing in the user manual to identify the issue.

I have deleted and reinstalled a few times and tried different locations (ie. in ~/applications, in ~/applications/games etc) but with no success. Could it be a permissions issue, and if so how do you fix it?

Thanks in advance.

What version of the mac OS are you using?

Thanks for the quick reply Joe, I wasn't sure if this site was still being used after looking at the dates for last posted 

I'm using 10.4.11, I think it is tiger.

Thanks again.

Hello Fickle,

Hmm that's strange. I know compatibility was added for Leopard  in MacTrek 1.5 but it should still work with Tiger.  Does MacTrek 1.4 work? Try this link below:

I am running Leopard but will run some tests on the 1.5 version listed on here later tonight to make sure there isn't a problem with the download.
