I run HogPC 3.12.0 (b2351) in Parallels 14.1.3 on a new, updated MacBook Pro 10.14.5 (18F132). Both the MacBook and Parallels [running Win 10, itself fully updated] are fully up-to-date, as is HogPC.
I can open a live show and make a backup in my HogPC "Shows" folder just fine, so it is not corruption or permissions. But I cannot open an archived (_bck) show file, not even your tutorial show files. And the new backup I just made from a live show is likewise un-openable. I get the same failure drumghys describes in his post "Can't open a backup show (Hog4PC 3.4.0)” (last updated October 2017).
I saw no errors in my Parallels Log (or any other log) referencing Hog or its programs. There were no Hog errors in the Windows 10 Event Viewer either. On starting up HPC, opening a regular showfile, and opening the Hog Event Viewer before I log off that show and trying to open a backup file, I see the following:

Seems to me the Launcher app (or the sub-process handling the extraction from the archive - osarchive.cpp? archivetask.cpp?) lacks inherited permission to write the expanded showfile to my disk. That seems like a bug as I don't see a way to increase that subprocess's privileges.
How can I work around this? Is there a 3d party app to unarchive the archived showfile?
