Yes, if you want to use 7zip, change the program that associates compressed files to 7zip. That was the point of Marc sending you that, bro.

This is what I see when I use when *.In the list you showed me.I do not see ap file in the adobe list you had posted.

7z Winzip

[arizonachris]

OK, what he's trying to say, Marc, is that the .ap isn't in that list like you show. Checked my Win 7 64 bit system, I'm not showing a .ap in the list either, but I can open the file if I select then right click, then Extract all.......

You can change the file association in Win7 to automatically unzip .ap files with WinZip without changing the file extension to .zip. I have it and it works like a champ. Go to Control Panel > All Control Panel Items > Default Programs and select "Associate a file type or protocol with a program" and follow the prompts.

Only just saw your post and the penny dropped - you can also set up the file association in WinZip itself - works brilliantly.
Thanks for the tip!!

Edit: In Win Zip itself: Choose "Settings", "WinZip" Options" then "System Tab" then tick "the specified alternative extension for Zip Files" put ap in the "Alternate Extension" box. Now open with WinZip appears when you right click on the ap files and you can decompress automatically with WinZip. Thanks again!

Thanks, pH. Hope Tim sees that bit you posted. I don't use WinZip so I can't try it.

Okay I tried like you said PH cant I only have winzip Trial not teh full,So can I do like i asked in the list where I said.I see 7z next to that is winzip?

Sorry I have WinZip pro so the association can be done via WinZip options.

I take it when you are in steam\steamapps\common\railworks\content\route-id number:
When you right click on the ap file you see:



If you have the 4th item down 7-zip then click on it will give you the all the options of extraction.

I am surprised that you cannot see the ap files in windows explorer and 7-zip is not there on the right click of any zipped file.

Okay so then what do I do here on my laptop do I right the ap file click? Open with or do I click change program like I has showed you before? where it showed 7z next to that said winzip.

[peterhayes]

Yes right click on the ap file and you should see something similar to the above. Do you??
If you have the 7-zip option left click on that and you will see all of the extract options as below:
