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

[Bob Naumann]

Dick,

There are many things that could be wrong, you will need to do some
"Sherlock Holmes" work.

Check to be sure that your account is set as an administrator. Go into
control panel "User Accounts" to be sure.

Another thing you should check is what your "Folder Options" are in control
panel. This controls what types of files you see, whether or not you see
file extensions or not, and whether or not you see some folders. I turn all
of the "hiding" off and all the "show" on so I can see everything.

I'm also using Win 7 Pro and I have no trouble with downloading the zip
file.

73,

Bob W5OV

More information on my problem.

The problem is something with the way I have the computer set.  I finally
was able to get download to the K3 by using my other computer.  I downloaded
the zip file to my other computer (also Win 7) and then extracted the files.
Everything worked as it should.  I then copied the folder to a flash drive.
Once that was complete, I put the flash drive in the computer I have the K3
hooked up to and copied the file to the temp file on the desktop.

K3 utility worked fine and I updated the radio.

Does anybody have an idea of what I am doing wrong or set wrong that will
not allow me to down load the zip file or even to extract them if I copy the
zip file from my one computer to the one I want it on?

I am the only user of both, so I assume I am the administrator;  If not, on
the one computer,  I have no idea how to make myself the administrator.
Have tried re-boot of computer and that did not help either.
