Some downloads especially aplilications contain .zip within the .rar.
This current version (6.91 B7 build 5731) will not only automatically decompress the the initial .rar (which is great),
but if the .rar contains .zip files, will unzip those too. Which is not so great when upon installation the program installer
looks for said .zip files and cannot find them causing it to fail.

Is there a "hidden" option to stop this behaviour

Here you go:

I just added instructions to the bottom.

That sorted it. Thanks


Although for the interest of other users.
The Newsbin.nbi I had to edit was not in the newsbin data folder that the settings button opened.
It was located C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Newsbin
Maybe as because. I'm using an older version of Windows server 2012

It can be anywhere. Easiest way to find if is a "save as", note the folder then cancel.

Some people run multiple instances of Newsbin which works as long as they're not sharing NBI's or data folders.

OK.

Just that, in the other post describing all the "Secret (well undocumented) options in the NBI file"
It only says

In Newsbin, in the options if you select "Open Data Folder" it'll take you to the data folder. In the data folder should be a file called "Newsbin.nbi"

you might want to add the bit about, finding the file by clicling file> "save configuation as" to locate the file path

Just to save us dumb muggles any confusion
