Unable to uncompress the img.xz file

[venkavis]

I downloaded the 64bit file from the following location to my windows 7 pc,

http://sourceforge.net/projects/freenas/files/FreeNAS-8.2.0/x64/

File downloaded - FreeNAS-8.2.0-BETA2-x64.img.xz 2012-03-13 76.1 MB

When I try to uncompress using 7zip, I keep getting an error saying unable to load as archive.

Anybody else getting the same error? Any solutions?

Just downloaded it. No problems decompressing with 7-Zip 9.20. Perhaps you got a borked download or a bad mirror.

Thank you. I also was able to do it and I followed your advise and I believe its related to the version of 7 zip. I downloaded the version 9.20 and it worked. I user ImageWriter to Write to a flashdrive and started it on my new machine I built. The machine keeps hanging every 5 minutes :). Will post that separately.

Thanks Tropic for your advice.
