Oolite Bulletins

well...got bored at school so I decided to install Oolite on my flash disk. Everything went fine, until I decided to install some OXPs (by some I mean a few dozen). I downloaded them all fine, but when extracting some of them into Addon folder, I got message "Unable to find file specified". At first I though it's corrupted download, fine. Redownloaded...again. Took some poking around and discovered something. Those that were unable to copy had in their folder files with 0 kb size with exact same names as folders included (AI, Config, etc..).
Now the question is: I can copy them into Addon folder without these, but will they work ok? And whatta hell are those files?
Oh, I should've specified running WinXP, limited rights (school comp).

Some OXPs won't unzip properly with the standard windows unzip. If you google 7Zip (free) that'll unzip 'em.

apparently, you're correct about the problem...works now, thanks.

Damn you, WinDoom!

Windoze didn't work? Call Bill now!

As debated previously in another thread - The built-in compression tool in XP/03/Vista DOES work correctly. It will unzip the file, it just requires some manual intervention. The logic and exception handling needed to remove that manual intervention can't be added because there are already third-party products competing in that space. Therefore Microsoft is barred from expanding the in-built tools into that space as it would be 'leveraging their OS monopoly'.
