    It won't let me open the demo after downloading all the .cab files and then installing the game.

    I'm not sure if the extracting process went wrong but I didn't have 7 zip to install it. After finishing the installing the demo, I will try and click the icon and it will just start the downloading all the .cab files process again.


    Did I do something wrong? Do I have not have the programs to help run the demo?

    I compressed the folder, and then it says it's invalid and cannot send to the folder.

    UGH WTF

    Download the demo from www.gamespot.com instead of wherever you are getting it from.

    .cab files? For the demo? The demo SHOULD be an .exe file. Just 1. About 1.8GB .exe file.

    That file will install the game. No unpacking or unzipping or anything.

    7-zip is the same as Win-Zip, just compresses things better.
    .cab files? Odd, the only time I use them is to install things onto my PocketPC.
    It should be 1 .exe file, like Storm said.
    TBH I'd get the whole game though, its fricking awesome, unless your checking to see if it runs.
