I just bought a WSO in the form of a .zip file, when I downloaded it, I got a notification pretty much saying I don't have the right program to open it with.
It downloaded fine. Any suggestions?

        How To: Open a Zip file

        Not my site but info might help you.

        winrar is safe - but unless you are opening .rar files may not be what you need

        I think 7zip will open about anything - it's also a free download and safe to use.

    zip was like the second popular public archive program, that I know of at least, and that was close to 30 years ago! A LOT of decent archive programs support it.

    I bought my copy of winzip in the 80s and for years you got free updates.
    Sadly they started charging for "new versions" in the early 2000s.

      I use Total Commander to unpack any zips, rars, and other archives. I liked WinZip till Corel bought it. Now it's terrible and slow...

    Download 7-zip first (Download)
    then after you install it
    you can now right click the file that you want to open,
    click extract here or extract file.
    ..hope it helps
