ScrapeBox cannot run from this location(out of an archive or temp folder)

When you get the error "ScrapeBox cannot run from this location(out of an archive or temp folder)" it means that you are trying to run Scrapebox from a zip file archive.

Scrapebox comes in a compressed zip file, which you then need to extract.  Depending on the version of windows you are using, you can usually double click on the scrapebox.zip file that you downloaded from the site, then a window will open.  Inside the window you will see the scrapebox.exe file, and at the top of the window you will probably see a button to extract or extract all.

You need to click the extract button and then extract the contents of the zip file to a folder that is on your Desktop or in your Documents folder.  Do not place scrapebox in a folder that is directly on the C root drive or in any "program files" folders.  Also do not place the scrapebox.exe file directly on your desktop - when you run the program it will download needed files and folders and place them in the same folder that you place the scrapebox.exe file in, if you place it on the desktop it will place all these files and folders also directly on the desktop.  So place it in a Folder that is on your desktop or in a Folder that is in your documents folder.

If you are still having trouble then  you can google for "how to extract or unzip files on windows X"  replace the X with your version of windows.  Also you can download free 3rd party tools that will extract files, you can google for these as well.

After its extracted you need to run scrapebox.exe and then click activate, enter your information and then click submit.  It will then take up to 12 hours for your license to be activated.
