Please do not double post. There is an edit button you can use.
Also bumping your thread because you don't receive an answer might result in people ignoring you even more.
Unpack the cpbo.exe to a folder in your HD, like in your ArmA installation folder. Doubleclick on the exe and you are asked if you want to associate pbo files with cpbo - answer with yes.cpbo:
Extracts and creates PBO files. Run from windows explorer to
associate it with directories and PBO files, after which you
can extract PBO files by double clicking, and create PBO files
by right clicking a directory. Also can be used from console.
The PBO path prefix is saved to and read from a special file
called $PBOPREFIX$ in the directory.
Now select a pbo file and rightclick on it, in the popup menu you now have an "extract" option. Select it and the pbo is going to be extracted at the same location of the pbo file.
sorry im a pest,but im not getting the extract option in the dropdown menu.... im only getting open option.....sorry

Same problem here (Vista Issue Possibly), I also can't see the Warfare Mission files but I can play it?
Checked it out I have a Laptop with XP on it runs fine.
I'll look into Vista a bit further see if I can kick it into action...

1. plumose 219 can you confirm your on Vista?
2. create PBO does show for me in Vista.
3. when double clicking a pbo to open it in cPBO the script flashes and shuts down, is there anyway to add a debug crash to the start up?
-. I'm guessing it has something to do with the Vista permissions, when I use it to create PBO Vista asks for permission to execute cPBO once Accept has been pressed it does it. However to extract PBO it is not asking for permission.
