If you follow the link I provided:
http://www.textpad.com/support/tips/index.html#install

it states:
Open the self-extracting executable (e.g. TXPENG41.EXE) with a ZIP program, such as WinZip.

I guess they have changed it since 4.1 and the tip is no longer valid. Too bad, it would have been ...

First off, if this has been posted elsewhere, please link the topic. I have been unable to locate anything useful searching the forums for "txpeng473.exe", "winzip", or "corrupt".
