Reading MPKG files

[Gavin53]

I bought a Mikroe Dali2 Click board to use as a DALI interface for my projects.
I started downloading the MikroSDK for C but it is just too unnecessarily complicated.
I read that I can use a package in a different environment so that's what I want to do.

I installed the package manager but it won't let me open the packages
I get the error message
Compiler ... is not installed on this computer.
Can not load package.

I just want to read the example files so I can use the DALI interface!

How do I open to just read the MPKG file "1558364738_mikrosdk_mikroc_arm.pkg"
Thank you.

Hi,

basically it is a zip file. Rename it to zip and use something like 7zip or similar to unpack.

Hi,

I like to correct myself a little bit. It seems that it's a kind of special zip file type.
If you simply use a unzip utility, you will get only the documentation as html files.

If you really want to get the header and c-file, you need to use the package manager.
However, don't use "Open existing package" from the Start Page.

Instead go to File -> Extract Package

Here you can select your package and the folder where to extract the content to.
It works for me

As a side note: I don't have the respective compiler installed on my PC.

Thank you, your second suggestion worked. Windoze Zip didn't like the file even as a .zip but the package manager as you instructed could do it.
