GUI v2.0 will not unzip on MACOS Yosemite with Winzip

edited January 2017 in OpenBCI_GUI
I cannot unzip the files after downloading the GUI from the downloads page (http://openbci.com/index.php/software).  My error from winzip is: "Fatal error: This file appears to be incomplete or it constitutes one disc of a spanned Zip file. Please insert the last disc of the spanned set and try the operation again."
I tried another program to unzip it and it also gave a similar error message.
Does anyone know how to fix this or what I am doing wrong?
Thank you!

    TMev, hi.

    MacOS X Yosemite (and other MacOS versions), have a built in Unzip program what runs when the zip file is double clicked in your Downloads folder. It works fine for me.

    You mention "Winzip", which was originally written for Windows, but does have a Mac version. I assume you have installed this and it has "taken over" the zip extension to unzip zip files. There might be something damaged with your version of Winzip. You could try seeing if a newer version is available for updating your app.


    If you right click (Option-click) on any zip file, it should bring up a pop up menu. Under Open With, you should see "Archive Utility.app", which is the default unzip app for those without Winzip. Try selecting that.

    Unfortunately, it will not unzip correctly with the built-in unzip program.  The error that comes up is: "unable to expand "OpenBCI_GUI_200_MACOSX.zip" into "Downloads". Error 2 - No such file or directory.

    I tried the mac version of winzip after the my default zip app wouldn't work.  If you have any other ideas, please let me know!!  I just got the Mark IV and am anxious to get it working.

    Thanks!

    It is sounding more like your download might have corrupted the file. Can you try re-downloading?

    Yet one other archiver program that I have used,
