I tried GetIt Right, and it instantly dies with a 403.


Assuming you mean GetRight (the download manager),
a 403 means that the referring page isn't what those guys require.
(aka: We're anal and you have to do it OUR way--no leaching or
linking.)
A download manager doesn't give a referring page, so you're stuck.

Find a neighbor/friend with a fast connection and a CD burner.

Someone was *VERY* kind and sent me the file broken into 500K UUE files.
After stripping off the (variable length) e-mail headers and the 4 blank lines at the end, and *then* combining to a large (21,364150 bytes) file, i was able to decode to a decent EXE (untried so far).

Follow instructions; in C:\TEMP that has NV8269.EXE, i issue:
NV8269.EXE /C /Q /T:C:\TEMP
Get error message on desktop:
"That folder is invalid. Please make sure the folder exists
and is writable." (OK)

*NOT* OK; obviously the folder DOES exist!
So, i try running the EXE by itself and get the following error message courtesy of WinZip:

Extracting file: C:\My Documents\ENCODES.uue\nv8269.exe
Extracting to "C:\Temp\"
Use Path: yes Overlay Files: no
Extracting LAYOUT.BIN
Extracting SETUP.BMP
Extracting SETUP16.BMP
CAB file nv8269.exe is corrupt

Help!
