Need help with this (installation issues)

Post by Monroid »

Okay, so I download Wesnoth, and I get this .rar file

What should I do now? How can I play?

Well, how about unpacking it with WinRar or another such program?

When asking for help the least you should do is tell us your OS (Windows, Linux, etc.) and Wesnoth version (1.8.6, 1.9.6, etc.)

? The Windows installer is an exe (named wesnoth-1.9.6-win32.exe or wesnoth-1.8.6-win32.exe depending on which version you've downloaded), so what rar are you talking about?

Try downloading from : http://www.wesnoth.org/
It the button will link you to a download mirror. Just select which OS.
Then allow the installation to occur.
Bye says the cookie.

Besides, it would be very helpful if you would tell us what system you are using.
