Pbo

[Sgt_Hawkins]

I can confirm It does not work with Vista. It works on my Xp machine but not my Vista

[silens]

Dont know if anyone still having issues with this but ill post this in case they come up with this post like i did lookign for an answer.

In Vista - Going into cpbo file properties and using xp compatibility and checking Run as Administrator has fixed it for me.

And if that doesn't help, then switch off UAC, User Account Control, and do the association again.

I use cpbo to pack addons and for extracting them i use Eliteness, I had the same issue as you on vista but my solution is a decent way round the problem.

Hi, what i've always used for Pack & Unpack .pbo files in the Armed Assault as well as in the
OFP days is:

The Voyager's PBOview 1.1 (From OFPEC.com).

Without any problem (on XP) works well, is fast, you can check the files inside the .pbos
without the need of unpack the whole addon etc; and it's OFPEC quality certified, thing
that i can't say about the Keg's addons, the Raikonnen's F1 tittle... and many more things
from findland that i don't gonna talk about. Like the Keg's mom.
So... if you have problems with "those keg's tools..." try that excelent tool made by Voyager
and your problems will go away in the same time that you open a .pbo with this amazing tool.
P.D: No one else supports this message other than my three beers; but i approve it anyways. Let's C ya

I am not just digging up old threads, this is an honest FYI, for anyone having trouble with pbo files.

I DL'ed Arma Tools, and could not get it to work. For some silly reason, it actually 'attached' its self to other things, and I could not even get system restore to work in Windows (7). I managed to restore in Safe Mode. Whew! I was actually upset and worried. I sure did not want to reinstall my OS.

So, two weeks later, after finally giving up on a way to get Arma Tools to work, here I am. I DL'ed Voyager from the link above. Works perfect. (And yes, with AT I tried every thing in this thread, and too much other stuff.)

EDIT: Sorry I came back so late to say... I do not blame Arma Tools and the place I DL'ed from for what happened to me. I write it off as one of those weird Windows (7) events. BUt, the Voyager did work for me where as the other did not.

Voyagers one worked perfectly for me and I'm on Vista 64-bit, 5 stars from me
