Unable to extract R0232U2.exe

[rwetech]

Unable to extract R0232U2.exe told I "sorry you do not have the permission to extract the file" and yet I am local admin any ideas why does the exe have a green padlock symbol on it?.

I have also installed the hotkey utility but the FN keys still do not work.

I have a PCG SRX41P with Windows XP SP1 installed.

Maybe this file is password protect. But i you want install the hotkeys, then you must doubleclick "setup.exe".

But what is R0232U2?

It doesnt request a password I'm afraid.

This is the info from the vaio website:

I managed to resolve the hotkey issue after finding this link:

And installing the sony shared library files and the ui library issue resolved.

Sorry, I can't help you with an BIOS update, because I have never done this.

Do you have WinZip installed?

I have winrar installed, when you look at the properties of the file it says install lock. copyright of sony

Strange that it doesn't work.
Take it you have re-downloaded the file?

Yes I've donwloaded it twice. Why provide a file then have it locked makes no sense been searcing the sony websites for the application name Install Lock to no avail.

Try installing WinZip.
If that doesn't work then VAIO Link need to be contacted.

This may sound a silly question but have you changed the original Windows operating system? It seems the only plausible reason for the file being locked.
