Cant download Pattern Maker

Hi,
Im having trouble downloading Pattern Maker from the link here on PinDiy.  The second part downloads just fine but the first part seems to be "damaged" and cant be opened.  Can anyone help??
Thanks,
SallySue

If its Platinum Pro you need to read the whole post. Theres some problem with getting it started. If its the other Pattern Maker Pro it should work okay. So that one I would post this issue under The Forum My Problem and see if someone will answer. Good luck.

Try downloading it again for free and double check the size corresponds with the file on the site, a few bytes off and it wont work.  

I believe these need to be in the same folders to extract properly, so try putting them together, highlight both, then extract them in the folder.

Sorry! I dont think I properly explained what the problem is that Im having.  I downloaded the first part of pattern maker.  It is suppose to open as an rar file.  However, when I go to open the rar file I get the error message " Could not open the archive, file may be damaged".  Which means I cant get any farther!

Ok, I understand your problem now! This very thing happened to me when I first tried to download my PM4. Its a common problem and theres a simple fix. Most computers have some type of zip program built in, but some dont. You need a small program such as 7-zip. I didnt see any here in the forum, but I got mine at 7zip website and clicked on the 2nd green download link. Once you have that downloaded, install it, open it, then close it and you should be able to go back to the PM4 downloads, right click on it and from the list that appears click on 7zip, then another list pops up and you want to click on extract files. Then do the same for the second file, but when the box pops up telling you it will create a second file, click on the arrow next to the file name and choose the 1st file destination. They will then be all in one folder and you can open it and install.
There is another type of zip program here in the forum and Im giving you the link but I dont use it so I dont know how simple it is to install. It sounds like a lot to do, but if you follow my instructions here, it shouldnt take anymore than 10 mins to have it all done. :)
here is the zip program offered here in the forum.
