Autodad 2018 self extract stuck on new windows

The infamous Autodad 2018 self-extracting executable!

It's not uncommon for self-extracting executables to get stuck on newer versions of Windows, including Windows 10. Here are a few potential solutions to help you extract the contents of the file:

1. Run the executable in compatibility mode: Right-click on the Autodad 2018 self-extracting executable, select "Properties", and then click on the "Compatibility" tab. Check the box next to "Run this program in compatibility mode for" and select an older version of Windows, such as Windows 7 or Windows XP. Click "Apply" and then "OK". Try running the executable again.
2. Use a third-party self-extracting tool: You can try using a third-party self-extracting tool like 7-Zip or WinRAR to extract the contents of the file. Simply right-click on the executable, select "Extract Here" or "Extract to", and choose a location to extract the files.
3. Use the built-in Windows tool: You can try using the built-in Windows tool, "Extract Files" (also known as "Extract to"). To do this, right-click on the executable, select "Extract Files", and then follow the prompts to extract the contents of the file.
4. Try a different extraction method: If the above methods don't work, you can try using a different extraction method, such as using a virtual machine or a cloud-based service like CloudExtract.
5. Contact the software vendor: If none of the above methods work, you may want to contact the software vendor (Autodad 2018) and ask for assistance. They may be able to provide additional guidance or a newer version of the software that is compatible with newer versions of Windows.

Remember to always exercise caution when running executables from unknown sources, and make sure you have a reputable antivirus program installed to scan the file for any potential malware.
