Hi Nazaction, welcome to macosx.com

Tiger (I guess you use the OS) is no longer bundled with the StuffitExpander software
http://www.stuffit.com/mac/expander/
which is able to unarchive files of .sit/.sitx

You can download the free Expander here
http://www.stuffit.com/mac/expander/download.html
and installed it

Regards
Philippe

thank you Philippe but also there is another extension which is : .bin that i need a progrem to use it as installer

Just have a look at http://www.stuffit.com/mac/expander/; StuffitExpander handles .bin
Stuffit handles all archive formats from Mac, Windows, Linux or Unix

thanks mr. Philippe but also ia have a problem:
i have game ( VGP2demo) when i open it , it opens like an empty folder while it has a size of 46.2Mb

A demo game for mac or something for PC ?
I face such a thing sometime ago with a Tomraider Demo..I have downloaded the Windows installer, not the Mac one !

46.2MB for VirtualGrandPrix.;even for a demo...it is very small ;-)
