When I try it tells me the file is corrupted. Is this a problem with the beta or is it something I'm doing wrong?

When does it tell you the file is corrupt?
I am guessing it is when you go to unzip it?
What operating system do you use?
Did you manage to install one of the earlier betas?

Ok going to have to admit to be completely dense when it comes to PCs
I'm completely dense when It comes to PCs.
There, done it.
Right I'm using Windows XP.
Installed clean version of EUII. The downloaded 1.07 which I do by clicking on the link and choosing open right?
Then I click on the beta link on the general board. Do I save that or do I open it again? If save where do I save it?
If I am doing this all wrong please tell me as I am perfectly aware that how this machine works is a complete mystery to me and I wont be offended.

DO NOT click on open!
Right-click and select Save-AS

For the beta.
Rightclick Save-as

When prompted for the path to extract it to browse for the directory that you installed EU2 in.
click ok then when prompted if you want to overwrite the files select yes for all.

Thank you. That looks like its worked. Its quite incredible how many things I can get wrong in such a simple procedure
How will I know its worked when I play the game? Will it say anywhere what version I'm using?

Would it saying blahblahblah beta in the top left of the main menu be a good sign
Thank you for your help.
