I have downloaded EUII from Gamersgate...

[unmerged(48588)]

....and I have a folder on my desktop called DD-PDXEU2. Most of the files are recognizable. However, I can't open the data1 or data2 zip files because they are not Microsoft standard .cab files.

Do I simply have a bad download? It takes about four hours to download and would like to avoid that if possible.

My system info follows:

.zip files are never .cab files, but Windows Explorer can open them nevertheless.

But your question can only be answered by GamersGate themselves, it's nothing to do with Paradox. A quick look at their FAQ indicates you contact them at support@gamersgate.com .
