[dr rockso 1791]

So i download fourth age total war and when its done something pops up asking "in which app would i like to open this". Some options come up like windows media player and word pad. I have been looking around online but cant seem to find an answer to my problem. Im on a dell laptop. dont no if that has anything to do with it. I downloaded third age total war and it works fine. Any one no what the problem is?

That means Windows cannot recognize the filetype of the installation file. I guess you didn't download the EXE installation file, but the RAR installation file. The latter is a compressed archive (instead of an automatic installer) and needs to be unpacked by another program, like winRAR. You can download a free version of winRAR here (http://www.rarlab.com/).

Alternatively, delete the current file and download the EXE installation file - that should work too.
