whdrun unzipping error

ok i finally got round to installing GB amiga, great work btw

i've got all paths set up correctly, whdload keyfile, kickstarts renamed and in whdload/devs/kickstarts etc..

but whenever i try and run a whdload extra i get a friggin error saying whdrun couldn't unzip the game, i saved the log file:

WHDRun 1.0 Beta 4

2008-05-05 17:33:01 WHDRun is done, but there were errors

any ideas??, the zip files are definately not damaged, i've tried KG's packs, whddownload.com's files, every single whdload game does this not just one or two

EDIT: nevermind sorted i, idiot that i am, thinking i know best, configured gamebase to recognise slave as a supported native file type, because when i installed GB Amiga it wouldn't recognise my version of winuae, too new a version i guess?? so i entered the default file types myself and because it was running whdload games i had it in my head that .slave and .info would need to be recognisable

Ah, glad you got it sorted, especially as it would have confused the hell out of me

Yeh the only filetype that needs to be in there is .zip

And yes your winuae version was either too new or a beta, but all you had to do was select one of the older versions from the gamebase list and then tell it where the .exe of your newer version was
