Install file corruption

Post by iakona » Tue Apr 14, 2020 9:28 pm

I am unable to install the installer. I downloaded it twice, just to be sure there wasn't a problem with the download. The TTW_Install_v3.2_Full file shows 363,685 KB. When I try to unzip using either 7zip or winrar, it errors out. The 7zip error reads as follows:

1 <path\name>
Can not open the file as [7z] archive
Headers Error

I'm not sure what else to try.

Try a different browser or download location. I tried them all just a few days back and there was no errors.

Thank you. I saved to a different drive using ie instead of chrome. I got the same error when trying to open it. If I'm doing something wrong, I'm sorry, but I cannot figure out what that would be. The one thing I'm hesitant about is that I cant get FO3 to run initially, like GamerPoets instructs in his install video. I dont know how that would affect opening a separate zip file, though. I just thought I'd mention it as the one deviation from the install video.

What Roy means by different download location is to download the file from a different server.

The download page contains downloads from three different servers: North America, Europe and Asia. If you're downloading from one of them and it's not working, try downloading from a different one. :)

Oh, I see. Thank you. Yeah, that got it. So, the North American one is not a good file.

I just checked the NA download - it downloaded (and tested) fine for me. You probably had some kind of an error happen while downloading. Depending on where you live (or even sometimes the time of day), some servers will work better than others - it all depends on the connections between you and wherever you're trying to get the file from. I've seen that before with the official Doom mods site and mirrors: sometimes the closest link doesn't work right while one half-way around the world works great.
