GSX won’t install **SOLVED**

[Alabamaboy]

When I go and run the install after download I get corrupt files errors. I run defender AV which was off at download cashe in browser cleared add-on folder deleted I know it’s something simple but what is it

Either the antivirus has corrupted the files, or your browser is downloading the wrong version. Try all of this:

- clear the browser cache

- try another browser

- remove the Documents\GSX_Installer folder

And download the installer again

[Alabamaboy]

I did all that and when I do run the installer it run fine until it stop on dds files saying it’s crupt this time it was a wagon wheel dds

I'm sorry but, you must have a bad download so, be sure the antivirus is disabled, do all that I suggested before, and it should work.

I did all that even ran downloader as admin and still get corrupt file error. Changed browsers and cleared cashe still wont install

I can only repeat and confirm the files we have online are perfectly fine. If they weren't, we would have tons of identical reports here.

Is the installer downloading 5 or 6 .BIN files in the Documents\GSX_Installer ?

[Alabamaboy]

There are 6 bin in the folder bin 1 has 467,319 kb 2-5 has 468,750

They are correct, but you haven't mentioned the 6.bin, which should be 7.668 KB

Yes that is correct just wanted to make sure that I got the whole download does GSX need to be installed before GSX  2 expansion

There's no such thing as a separate GSX L2 installer, the installer is one and the same, and installs both.

Okay I was just going by what was on the website gsx L2 won’t work without GSX By The Way I’m having to ignore a lot of files hopefully I can get something to work

The same site also says the installer contains both. I think you are confusing the LICENSE ( your key ) with the actual installation. The installation is just one, there's a single setup which installs ALL FILES for GSX and GSX L2.

What you see in the sim, depends on your key. If you activate only the base GSX with the base GSX key, the base GSX will work, and the L2 features will work in Trial. If you also activate the L2 key, both will work.

When the site says "gsx L2 won’t work without GSX", it doesn't mean anything related to the installation. It simply means you cannot purchase JUST a license for GSX L2 without also having a license for the base GSX because, even if you activate the L2 expansion, if the base GSX is not activated as well, L2 won't work.

Ok I have done everything you said to do and nothing worked still corrupt files so if anyone else had this same problem and found a solution please let me know. It would be nice if the other products could be installed without GSX like it use to be

The issue is, nobody has reported the same issue about this update yet. You can try this free utility:

http://getmd5checker.com/

And run it against the files downloaded in the Documents\GSX_Installer folder. Check the main setup too ( gsx_fsx_setup.exe or gsx_p3d4_setup.exe ), and post a screenshot showing all the MD5 hashes for the installed files, so I can check which ones you got a bad download of.
