Just a tryout -

Have you got admin rights to the folder you are trying to extract to?

You can also use Hashtab, that's probabaly what the rest of the Team uses, too.
You need to right-click-->properties a file to get the menu.

Anyway, the latest version seems to break some Windows themes, so see if that works out for you or not (it's just a cosmetical problem, after all).

I have nothing wrong with that link. I just tested it again. Try right clicking and "save as" ??

Somthing is wrong about that link, sayes that it can not process the directory (wount download or show any pages).

Yeah 7z should alert you if the archive is bad but this is just to be douple safe

That's right and ususally more than adequate, however, in this case, the problem could lie elsewhere, so an MD5 would be good to see whetherit could be the RAM or not (MD5 showing up correctly but not extracting properly).

Well, you don't necessarily need an MD5 hash. If you have 7zip installed and it's integrated to the shell, then right clicking on it you can open the 7-zip command subset and test the archive.

Although if you really want here are the MD5 hashes I got from the packs.

Some one generate an MD5 of the pack and then zobbo can do the same to see if this is a download error.
Probably the file is cahced badly in eithere the browser or a proxy.

Re: What am I doing wrong?

2007-08-08T05:58:56Z

Oh okay, that makes more sense.

Re: What am I doing wrong?

2007-08-08T05:15:07Z

hmmm, USB stick... I just did it with the tiniest pack (CPU), and it worked.
when I last did that, mass storage, it failed..
I just looked again, and I see there was not enough space left on that stick.
Different error too.

it is still a riddle then.

Re: What am I doing wrong?

2007-08-07T23:53:22Z

Does that apply to external hard drives attached through USBs as well, Jaak?

Re: What am I doing wrong?

Far as I know, you cannot use a USB stick with 7zip.

it cannot create output file

Well, these do sound like symptoms to me.
If things were always that obvious (eg you'd notice this during everyday work) you propabaly wouldn't need any testing tools.

Besides, I'm just trying to narrow it down.
Running the test certainly does not hurt, moreso since you're the only one reporting such errors.
This makes it very unlikely the problem is atually the server host or the packs themselves...

Erm, that didn't really clear anything up.

You unzip it under windows and it works fine, then when you're going through the windows setup it only gets to 99% before having a problem?

Re: What am I doing wrong?

2007-08-07T17:27:55Z

ok I download the file - lets say "sound drivers A"

It downloads perfect - I unzip using 7-Zip...all is well

It gets into about 99% completion and then ....I get the message

"could not open output file"

Re: What am I doing wrong?

2007-08-07T17:22:34Z

Where are you unzipping? Are you streamlining in and letting it unzip during setup or are you trying to open and unzip within an existing windows installation?
