My office just installed windows xp pro multi languages
software on our computers. I tried to open a zip folder
and error came up telling me to install the last disk in
the pack. I'm wondering what disk that might be called
because I thought I installed everything from the pack. I
didn't install every language disk however.

Please help?
 
Is this zip file part of a larger file that was split into chunks to span
multiple floppies? WinZip can do this www.winzip.com When you attempt to
unzip one of the "chunks" you will be prompted for the "last disk in the
set" or the last floppy in the spanned set. It contains instructions for the
WinZip program. Once that request is satisfied you are prompted for the
first disk and so forth until all of the chunks are "stitched" back
together.

That means you're trying to open a part of a zip file. Some zip programs
allow you to create a zip file in pieces (to span diskettes, for example).
It puts the zip catalog information in the last piece of that spanned set of
zips. You're trying to open one of the earlier pieces of the spanned set.
