Still waiting for the App.zxx files to download. :-( Wish they had posted the presentations as individually downloadable files. :evil:

[Kris Kumar]

Does anyone know how to open the App.zip? :? I get corrupted zip file error.

I believe the App.zip, App.z01 and App.z02 have to be combined somehow, but how?

[Mike Temporale]

WinZip or PKZip - *.z0x indicates that it's been split across multiple volumes, but the built-in ZIP support on XP doesn't do multiple volume archives. So you'll need a real zip tool to unpack those.

Thanks Mike, that did the trick. I dont use WinZip or PKZip because the XP ZIP works well.

Wish Microsoft had provided some tips regarding this. Also I found that WinZip had problem extracting the contents at first. I had to rename the file App.z01.zip to App.z01 to make it work.

Now WinZip is busy extracting 3GB worth of presentations. 8O
