You may also use this URL, which will always give you the latest version of Masterwork in zip format. :)

winrar can open 7z files, you could try that, right click on the archive and click extract here, it should pull all the files into the same folder as the archive

Make sure you are right clicking and telling it to use 7-zip.  Sometimes other programs that have expired free usage will try and be the primary program to open compressed files.

Actually that message is what 7-zip will report for a corrupt archive, try re-downloading.

If it keeps happening for him maybe he should try disabling his antivirus, firewall, and spybot program for the download.  I've had those corrupt Masterwork before a few versions ago.

I must be going crazy, because I misread the title post as "Trouble getting in the mood" and the first thing I thought was 'gosh, this doesn't seem like the right place to get help with that.'

I love how there is discussion on how to fix this, but the question is 3 weeks old, and the guy hasnt even logged in the forum for over 2 weeks. ^^

the download went through fine, but how do I actually start MWDF? I open the MWDF app and the settings window opens up, but how do i launch DF from there? there seems to be no launch button...i've looked in the manual and the forums, but i just can't find an answer.

another question,

I prefer Phoebus over obsidian, i see two Phoebus in the settings, mwPhoebus and just Phoebus, whats the difference? Are all of these tilesets completely compatible with MWDF? no missing grahics for the additions this mod includes?

thanks
