DSDPlus Fastlane Update Files Not Extracting

[andy404ns]

A few months ago my Fastlane updates stopped automatically extracting/applying. I am currently on version 2.465. All versions since then have not applied despite being downloaded. I figured I'd just do it manually today but now I see that I'm getting an unspecified error when attempting to extract:



Gotta love a good unspecified error from Windows. I imagine this is the reason the updates aren't automatically applying. Any idea what's going on here?

They never automatically extracted and applied. It simply automatically checks 1x daily. You need to extract using the password given to you.

You can't use windows unzip, you need to use something like 7zip so you can input the unzip password. But as @cg said, they have never automatically unzipped as they've always been password protected to your email you subscribed with.

7zip works flawlessly on DSDPlus FastLane updates and is what should be used.

In general, for people not wanting to use 7zip on other zipped files,

"0x80004005"

Every time I go to unzip a folder to get a file I always get the above error "0x80004005: Unspecified error"

Method 1: Change the Permission Settings.

• Right click on the file and click on Properties.
• Click on Security, check Owner should be "SYSTEM" in Advance tab.
• Now check the save for C:\Users\
• Owner should also be "SYSTEM"
• Check the users you signed into windows as (should be your Microsoft account) should be in the "Permissions entries" list with "Full Contol"
• If not, Add the user you are logged in as.
• All the folders and sub-folders below should be "owned" by the user you are logged into windows with importantly, have a permissions entry for "full control"
• Check for all the related folder where you are getting same error, but for some reason that same user is missing a "Permission Entry". Add a "full control" entry for the user and you should be able to save to that folder and all sub-folders.

If the issue still persist refer to the below method.



Method 2: System File Checker Scan.

The “sfc /scannow” command scans all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with correct Microsoft versions.

1. From Start screen, type Command prompt.
2. Right-click on Command Prompt and choose Run as Administrator.
3. Now in the command prompt window, type sfc /scannow (note, there is a space between sfc and /scannow).

Note: It may ask for windows installation DVD to fix and to enable SFC to make more than minor repairs. Some files saved on your computer might get deleted when fixing corrupted files.

Ah yeah I forgot I had to use 7zip. Working fine now. Thanks all!
