Harvester GOG version

Postby caterpillar » Sun Feb 05, 2017 8:18 pm

The Harvester 1996 GOG download, hvst.zip, appears to have a missing part. It has 6 parts, hvst.part1.rar to hvst.part6.rar, but when I try to extract them together, I am informed the download is broken. Perhaps there should a hvst.part0.rar, or something similar to that?

Try to use the latest version of WinRAR to unpack it. If that doesn't work the archive might be broken.

FYI, you only need to select part1 for WinRAR/7zip to extract the entire split archive. Those programs know that when a part1 is present that it means more pieces should follow it (this is a simplified explanation, of course).

I've downloaded those files and they extract fine. As said, use the latest version of WinRAR or 7-zip to extract the archives.

The extraction was not working with my old version of 7zip, version 9.21, which I had installed in the year 2013. So I took the advice of Meddle and Shattered and installed version 16.04, the latest version of 7zip. The extraction works just fine now! Problem smoothly solved. :thanks:
