Extracting .dat file

Post by ToniH »

I'm having problems when i try to extract my Fallout 2 master.dat. I'm using DatMan! to extract dat files, but when i try to extract it gives me an error message:

Run-Time error '429'
ActiveX component can't create object


Is there any other way to extract those dat files?

Any help would be great.

You need to register zlib.ocx using regsvr32.

I think he provides everything required in a ZIP inside the original ZIP and a batch file to run it too.
