The option to extract comes up, but once that step is completed it simply shows up as the same file as before; this i got from trying to compress the file (which i could do rather than extract anything from it, for that wasnt an option)

Okay, awesome. One more question; once I have downloaded 7zip, how do I uncompress the file? And i believe all thats to do after that is switch it out for the original BF2 file in GameData?

When I go to download the client for SWBFSpy, it shows up as a .rar file, and not a .exe file. I run on Windows 10, and my computer keeps prompting me to open it with Internet Explorer, which simply flashes on the screen for a split second and disappears. I've also somehow successfully copied in the SWBF1 version, but i can't find it mirrored for SWBF2. Has anyone run into this problem before me?
