Spectrum 10 GEN05094243M.tar.gz file for Windows 2008

[mjoliva]

I've downloaded the Spectrum 10 GEN05094243M.tar.gz file for Windows 2008.  Do I need to extract this file to start the install process and if so is there a command to do this?

Hi you can use the 7-zip application for extraction of the file.

 

1. Download and install 7-Zip from 7-zip.org. If you do not want to use

7-Zip as a command line tool, skip the next steps.

 

Add the directory you installed 7-Zip into to your path (Start -> Control

Panel -> System -> Advanced -> Environment Variables).

Move the tar file to the directory you wish to unpack into (usually the tar

file will put everything into a directory inside this directory).Open a

command prompt, and cd to the directory.

 

If the tar file is compressed, type 7z xfilename.tar.gz at the command

prompt (where filename.tar.gz is the name of the compressed tar file).

 

This results in a tar file called filename.tarType 7z x filename.tar at the

command prompt (where filename.tar is the name of the tar file).

 

Instead of using 7-Zip on the command line, you can use the file manager

and click on a .tar, .tar.gz, or.tar.bz2 file; 7-Zip will automatically

start.

I have WinZip 17.5 and I am able to extract the contents. Make sure to NOT extract the contents into a directory structure that have a space in it.

You can also use TarTool

 

A simple windows command line tool (no install , just unzip)

 

Its hosted on codeplex tartool, complete with the source code.

 

to decompress and untar .tar.gz (.tgz) files orjust untar .tar files

 

>TarTool.exe

 

Usage :

 

>TarTool sourceFile destinationDirectory

 

>TarTool D:\sample.tar.gz ./

 

>TarTool sample.tgz temp

 

>TarTool -x sample.tar temp

 

TarTool 2.0 Beta supports bzip2 files such as tar.bz2 and .bz2 extraction.

 

TarTool -xj sample.tar.bz2 temp or TarTool -j sample.bz2
