XCOM: Enemy Unknown Message Board  

Hi all,

Not sure if this has come up before but using the search function didn't find any results...even when I typed 'Editor'.

So basically I've downloaded my XCOM Editor, and when I go to Un-RAR it to get at the .exe, it keeps telling me the file is invalid or corrupt.

This has happened any and every time I've tried to get at the editor.

Does anyone have a reason for this? Is it a WinRAR specific problem? Because the trainer extracts and functions amazingly...

Your AV is blocked the file. Disable your AV and download it again.

awesome thanks it worked with the engineering still trying the scientists

0x90, I don't see how my AV/Firewall would've cause WinRAR to tell me the file is corrupted, and there were no apparent issues downloading...however following your obviously Godly instructions appears to have resolved the issue.

My many apologies for ever doubting you and appreciations for the assistance ;-)

It does it because the AV scans the archive and deletes the file inside it automatically without asking the end user what to do nor notifying the end user of what it did. Your archive software will recognize this missing data as a corrupted archive.

I've never had compatibility issues following this guide for computer security with the exception of the EMET section (I have not tested following it so would recommend skipping it).
