How to open .car files.

[DazxleX]

Hello, I am still new to the community, I am wondering how to open a .car file. I have tried using winmip2 but I am having trouble trying to open it.

 

[DazxleX]

This keeps happening tho.

Same issue, I am not sure why it does this to me.

Are you using windows 10?

 

[DazxleX]

Yes

ON your c drive, look in the windows folder, you should have a system32 folder, put a copy of the file I sent you in there, That's how Highbank got it to work on his win 10 machine.
You should have said you were using win 10 up front.

Google that file by name. download it and put it into the Windows sys32 folder on your C Drive...works like a charm...


BUT...frankly, I wonder why anyone would need to extract anything from a car file unless they are planning to steal it for some other purpose, but that's just me...

Ultimately I would suggest learning how to paint and NOT attempt to lift other folks work...

So after putting it in sys32 folder, how do I open a file with it?

If I am supossed to just click the application, I am getting the same error..

Also I am using this so I can add the real heroes project stickers.

Download and extract the folder to your C Drive from the download link below.
Run the Winmip2.exe from that folder as it has all the files needed.
Should work as that is how mine is set up on Windows10 Pro.

WinMip2B16

So just move the whole folder?

 

[Retread]

yes

 

[DazxleX]

yea i guess something is wrong, thanks for trying to help me.

 

[DazxleX]

I'll keep trying.

 

[Retread]

move the folder here: C:\WinMip2B16
Do not put folder in Windows or system32

 

[DazxleX]

Now it is saying a different error.

 

[DazxleX]

Oh it's working now! How do I open a .car file now?

 

[DazxleX]

Ah, I see now, thanks so much for helping me!

Ok right click on the winmip exe go down to Properties
Go to Compatibility
Go down to run check the box
Hit the drop down button look for windows xp sp2 or sp3
set it to that and save
