Little Busters! reallive.exe problem (SOLVED)

[Magnum Bookworm]

Are you running your computer with Non-Unicode Japanese? (link to instructions): Yes

Game: Little Busters!

Description of Problem: reallive.exe is suppose to be the crack that lets one play the game, however, It keeps giving me “Cannot open file as archive”. It seems everybody else only has problem with the font of LB! on these forums, not the game itself.

Your Operating System: Windows 7

64 or 32 bit: 64

What did you already try?- I've tried running it as an admin, restarting my PC, and trying to get this file open with 7Zip. I've tried deleting and re-installing the VN 3 times already(going on four as I type this). Also tried to add as a shortcut to bypass the archive thing, but now it gives a whole new error saying: "Unable to load "REALLIVE.EXE.manifest torrent is not valid bencoding".

Did you download your game from Fuwanovel?: Yes.

I am so sorry, because now I feel like a jackass. I always complain at other users on other forums about not reading a bit before posting.

I'll edit my post.

Okay, edited .

Dunno why it would try to open it as an archive.. ( I get the same error if I manually rename Reallive.exe as Reallive.zip or any other archive file extension).

So make sure that it is actually an executable. Also try disabling your antivirus / adding reallive to your antivirus exceptions since some antivirus software falsely flag the file as dangerous.

Works fine for me, and I downloaded it recently from here too..... Just try what Luch said by adding it as an exception in your antivirus software.

I didn't need to, but ah well. It's probably because of the antivirus you use. (I use ESET Nod32)

[Magnum Bookworm]

I use Norton.

Okay, I'm re-downlaoding it now, and will set it as an exception ASAP. Download will be done in 3 minutes, and I will update the thread with the results.

Yeah, I've found this twice before on other communities, and it was either because the user's antivirus was either putting reallive.exe into quarantine, or the user was (unintentionally) trying to open the ".exe" as a ".zip". One way to work around the second issue is sometimes to make a shortcut to the program on the desktop.

Looking forward to hearing redownloading works...!

[Magnum Bookworm]

Okay just added it to exception to my virus software, but now it's giving me "unable to load, torrent is not valid bencoding".

EDIT: Going to try your suggestion Tay.

[Magnum Bookworm]

Nope not working there either.

I know i'm going to sound stupid, but what exactly is the right way to open an EXE file? Is the ".Manifest" that comes after. the .EXE the problem?

Er, I guess you could try to open it with command lines... I only know the Unix commands though, so I can't guide you on that...

[Magnum Bookworm]

So, looked it up and evidently double clicking it usually opens the file......but the file keeps wanting to use a program to open the file.

I'm starting to think the MANIFEST part of the file name seems like a problem. Should i delete that part?

[Luch]

No, REALLIVE.EXE.manifest is a different file. You need to use the other one with no manifest extension.

[Magnum Bookworm]

Okay, so I got it working. I cliked on the file Luch said, but my virsu software, deleted, so I had to restore it and make it an exception.

I thank you all for your help in solving my crisis, and I humbly apologize for not making sure such a simple task was actually done earlier.

Again, I really appreciate it guys.
