Hi guys,
New to the forum. I'm sure this is really basic, but I can't unzip the 14.1 Android arm apk to open with adbFire. I tried it on 2 different computers running Windows and neither worked. I used Winzip and Express Zip.
Winzip just leaves the file zipped when I try to extract it, and Express Zip gives me the "Not Supported" pop up.
Any ideas?

Try renaming the file from .apk to .zip.
Bye,

Then maybe your downloaded file is corrupted.
Can you try downloading it again?
Just did that, and even Win-7-Explorer is able to extract it after renaming it to .zip...

Ok, dowloaded again, renamed it to .zip and it seems to have extracted the file to a folder on desktop, but I can't find any executable files. Here's the list of files in the folder:
assets
lib
Meta-info
res
AndroidManifest
classes.dex
resources.arsc

why do you even want to unzip it?
an apk is an install file

It's working!!
I fed it straight to adbFire the first time around and something happened, so I checked a tutorial and it said to unzip it??
Anyway, thanks to the both of you!!
