jelliott523 Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 I just purchased FTX Central Rockies and attempted to install it on my computer. When I went to extract the files (using both the Windows 8 default and 7-Zip) it told me that the files were broken and to contact the publisher.

jelliott523 Posted July 26, 2013 Author Share Posted July 26, 2013 I got to the installer screen and it gives me an error. NSIS Error caused by incomplete download or damaged media. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holger Sandmann Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Hi there, welcome to Orbx! It sounds as if the download wasn't fully completed. I don't have the exact byte count but the zip should be close to 4GB. Did you use a download manager that automatically resumes interrupted downloads? Also, make sure you have sufficient harddisk space for the unwrapping and installation, about 10-12 GB in total depending on whether FSX resides on your C drive or not. Cheers, Holger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Museumkeeper Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Hi jelliott523 Sorry to hear about your problem. I found out very early on in my Orbx life that because of my slow broadband speed, it was prudent to use a download manager. Your comment about an 'incomplete download' suggests you could do worse than to download again using a download manager Hope it works out second time around Kind regards JFS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jelliott523 Posted July 27, 2013 Author Share Posted July 27, 2013 Initially I tried using the default Windows 8 and downloaded straight from the retailer...no luck. I then saw the post about using a 3rd party download manager. Internet Download Manager wont run on my computer for some reason; I keep getting a message about it not being a trusted content. I then tried GetRight and it didnt seem to work either. I tried unzipping the package with 7-Zip and that didnt work either. I keep getting a message on 7-zip stating that the file is broken for all 3 parts of the downloaded material. I have tried downloading this thing probably 6 times. I will try again and hope for the best. I'm not sure if the problem is related to me not completely deleting the previous files that i downloaded.

jelliott523 Posted July 27, 2013 Author Share Posted July 27, 2013 Problem resolved!!!! I deleted all other portions of the software and redownloaded them using GetRight and unzipped with 7-zip and it worked fine. Now onto installing!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
