Installer Download File Corrupt **SOLVED**

[wallydog69]

I keep getting this message when I try to install.  The Installer file downloads in less than a second and I keep getting this message when I run it.

not valid win32 application

The file downloads correctly and is not corrupted. What might be happening on your system, instead, might be that your antivirus has mistakenly identified the installer as a threat, and has replaced the installer with its own message page.

Be sure you turn off any antivirus before downloading.

Another possible reason, your ISP doesn't allow you to access Mediafire ( which is were we host the actual file), or you have a Mediafire account with some login problem, so you are getting some kind of warning page instead of the normal executable.

Thanks for the response.  This is certainly odd. I can download other files from your site and I have turned off my anti-virus but still no joy- when I click on the link I know get no feedback. This only happens with the JFK installer.  Stand alone addon manager and other sceneries seem to download fine.

Try to rename that faulty "exe" with an .html extension, and see if it opens with a browser, chances are you'll see some web page with an error message.

no .exe extension.

This is what the link shows

I tried adding .html and no luck either.  I think the link is broken

no .exe extension.

You said:

This seems to indicate you HAVE an "installer file", and if you can double click on it, and receive a "not valid win32 application", it means it HAS an .exe extension. If you don't see it, maybe it's because you haven't turned on the option to see file extensions.

So, as I've said, try to add an .html extension to THAT file you downloaded.

This is what the link shows

That's correct.

I think the link is broken

As I've said, clicking on the above link result in the installer file ( 159 MB ) downloading normally. And nobody has reported it either.

Got this resolved....browser issue.  I just downloaded using a different browser..clearing cache seemed to do the trick

Just out of curiosity, what browser did you use initially? I know Google Chrome has a history of corrupting downloads, and I'd like to know if another browser caused similar problems.

Firefox was the culprit.. latest version I think.
