Having trouble unpacking the .bin files.

[shocky631]

I have downloaded the .bin files a few different ways so far and every ISO program I have won't open the file telling me that there were "no image files found" etc. Anyone have any clues how to unpack and install the files?

You don't unpack them. You just place them in the same folder as the .exe and then run the .exe to install the software.

As Eddie already stated, they contain the data of DCS World. The exe itself is very small and doesnt contain any data. At least one of the reasons for that is that it will take very long for your PC to open a exe file of many gigabytes size, while a very small exe which in turn opens big files isnt a problem at all.

This worked. I didn't realize that the torrent already contained the .exe file. Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks for your help.

Download and install BitTorrent and use that software or if you have time and a good connection create a folder on your desktop and go to the DCS World Download Page where all the mirror downloading sites are, and select USA and download the following files into the folder you created.

 

1. DCS_World_1.2.4.11855_171.exe 2,424 KB

2. DCS_World_1.2.4.11855_171-1.bin 1,950,708 KB

3. DCS_World_1.2.4.11855_171-2.bin 1,953,125 KB

4. DCS_World_1.2.4.11855_171-3.bin 1,953,125 KB

5. DCS_World_1.2.4.11855_171-4.bin 148,124 KB

 

You must have all five files and in the same folder. Double left click on the #1 file or Right click then click open on the file with the EXE extension and it will install DCS World.

If you run into problems you can additionally do file integrity check in windows with winmd5 and compare to the md5sums posted on the download pages (one pr. file).
