Installation process of GSX needs very long

[breenild]

Hello,

today I'm setting up my new Hardware with Msfs and GSX.

And so I'm actually experiencing the unbelievable long installation process of GSX.
I installed the FSDT downloader and then clicked on "install" for GSX.

Actually it is downloading file after file, now already for 4 hours!!
And I have a 250 MBit internet-connection.

Wouldn't it be better when you pubish a .zip installer file or someting like that?
I guess this would be WAY faster!

It's not normal it would take that long and, more importantly, it should NOT download "file by file"!

Wouldn't it be better when you pubish a .zip installer file or someting like that?

That's exactly how it works, of course. There's a "base" set of ZIP files which has JUST been updated very recently, which belong to version 2.8.3 so, a normal installation will just download these ZIP files, extract them and then download just the FEW files which has been updated from 2.8.3 to 2.8.4, which is the latest version.

Fact it's downloading lots of files, one by one, seems to indicate something very wrong in your local cloudflare node, as if the ZIP files you got were from a much older version, which is not normal.
