[Elecraft] unable to extract files to update K3 using Win 7

[Don Wilhelm]

Dick,

Since Windows 7 can open the files in the Zip Folder, have you tried 
selecting all the files IN the folder for download?
Your problem description seems to indicate that Win7 is only downloading 
the folder and not its contents.

73,
Don W3FPR
