CPBO Tool is not working with Windows 7

[Chammy]

I'm sure yall have seen this but I have not found a thread that explains it. Here is the error I get when I run cpbo.

pbo association failed!pbo association failed!Directory association failed!employment association failed!sanity association failed!done

Is there a work around for this? Or maybe another PBO tool?

So i guess either no one knows or no one cares

I had the same problem when i used it in Vista, but after giving the CPBO admin right and putting options on folders as open it worked.. well they are associated at least and the program listed it as done, but i cant understand where im suppose to look for the extracted files :/ (yes, im very new to this)

[hamis]

Look at the same folder where the pbo is e.g Arma/addons/weapons.

kegety has an updated version of cpbo on his site

I cant get this to work in Vista either... I can associate it with the extension but a dos window flashes buy and says open failed. Any further ideas? CRI how do you put options on folders

Hummm... I was using about2 hours on that problem and i seem to have lost control over my "test" folder now, im not the owner or the administrator over that folder anymore...I really screwd the folder up so bad that it crashes my system... LOL. So dont bother trying to get rid of the folder options and write restrictions, ownership and so fourth.
CPBO works to make PBO's but nothing more on my system, as you said the cmd flashes and no extraction.

Manzilla gave me a hot tip http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=75898

It works and i can view and extract pbo's now.

Sounds like the access controls don't like cpbo - believe it spawns a dos shell. That's trouble under Vista and beyond.
