I have just had to re set windows 10 and now I am unable to run ADlite
On opening file and running setup I get

Windows cannot complete the extraction
Destination file could not be created

Any help advice most welcome.

Hi Nigel

I assume you have a Zip file for ADLite?  What's its file name?

What are you using to extract the files?

Hi Nigel

Please extract the archive to the desktop first and then start the installation from there and not directly from the archive.

Cheers, Klaus

Did you extract the files to a new location, as Klaus suggests, and ran Setup from there?

I always Save the Zip to a suitable folder and then extract the files to a new sub-folder in that location.  That way I have all the extracted files in the one folder.  Windows Explorer does a great job of "camouflaging" a Zip file so it appears as an extracted file folder.
