What the hell, again??

I just bought Jbridge and now have the file. It's compressed as a 7z file. I do a quick search and Win 10 has a free app called 9 zip that opens pretty much anything including 7z. Great, no sweat, right?

No matter what I do absolutely nothing happens. I can double click the file, I can right click it and hit Open With 9 zip, I can try going though the app first and find the file and click open. At the most all I get a quick flash of the splash screen that disappears before I can even read anything.

I'm just shaking my head here. The most simple things...

So I noticed in the email there's a link to another app called 7 Zip. 7 zip, 9 zip, what's the difference? Whatever, I installed 7 zip. Now when I double click the file I get a box about the App Store and the only option I see is for 9 zip. Why is this guy messing around with these other zip apps anyway? Everybody in the world has been using regular old zip since the dawn of time.

Sooo, I open the 7 zip app and hit Open. No matter what I do I cannot navigate to my Download directory. It gives me Computer, I can open the C drive but nowhere is my Downloads directory listed. This is unbelievable. Another wasted morning trying to do something as basic as opening a stupid zip file.

How do I open this file?
