Having a really tough time installing OpenCV on my Windows 7 64-bit machine. Yes I tried running as administrator; I also tried 7zip and WinRAR to extract. No dice.

I have downloaded OpenCV-2.4.4.exe, OpenCV-2.4.5.exe, OpenCV-2.4.6.0.exe, and now I'm trying OpenCV-2.3.0.exe =(

Help!!

I have windows 7 x64 bits, downloading the prebuilt binaries and doubleclicking still works perfect for me. To me this seems as your system is blocking the execution of it. Can you check if any virus detector/malware detector/firewall is blocking the installation?

@FLY I wonder why it opens up in DOS for you, for me it opens up an extraction program which allows me to select the installation folder. Did you download it from the official repos?

If I look at the official download page than there isnt a 2.4.11 package. Please select one from there only!

Thanks @steven , Actually i use the official link as well , i Click on beta version 3.0 (OpenCV for Windows) then next page opens then next page displays Looking for the latest version? Download opencv-2.4.11.exe (367.7 MB) and i click on it.

Weird, if I click that link it suggests to download Looking for the latest version? Download opencv-2.4.10.zip (91.7 MB) Could you clear out your browser history or manually try OpenCV2.4.10?

Seems like you already accepted an answer for this question on stackoverflow. What was wrong with it?

Maybe you wanna check your archiving program and give 7-Zip a try.
