RESOLVED Update file to Region Northern California shows as 'invalid'

[akmatov]

Downloaded the update file to Region Northern California twice and have repeatedly tried to open it.

 

With Windows I get a popup box telling me the file is 'invalid'.

Poking at it with 7zip I'm told it 'can not be opened'.

Tried Extract All and was told the file was 'empty', though Properties reports 14.3 MB.

Winrar fails with 'archive is 'unknown format or damaged'

 

No problems opening other Orbx files.

 

And there is no 'hangup', I get a negative report promptly.

 

Please help

Hi there,

 

please use a download manager; the NCA SP1 is >400MB.

 

See http://www.orbxsystems.com/forum/topic/82288-corrupt-download-cant-unzip-please-read-here/

 

Cheers, Holger

No idea why i'm so resistant to buying a download manager, why should I expect this part of windows to work any better than anything else.

 

Trying the free trial and your suggestion worked.  I'm not seeing the change I was expecting, but now I feel I need to redownload everything and reinstall.

 

Thx for your patience.

 

Cheers, William

Hi William,

 

actually, there's no need to spend money since both DownThemAll and Free Download Manager (links in the thread referenced above) are free to use without any restrictions or annoying ads.

 

Cheers, Holger
