| 361032 | 2005-06-03 22:01:00 | How are u downloading these files? With a download manager or the default one for whatever browser u use? Some download manager programs can corrupt downloads. |

| 361033 | 2005-06-03 22:04:00 | It sounds like your Windows Installer might have become corrupted. You could try clearing your browser cache and downloading again, but I imagine that if it's happening regularly then this method won't work. You could also try downloading and installing the latest Windows Installer (www.microsoft.com) from Microsoft. HTH Mike. |

| 361034 | 2005-06-03 22:14:00 | My downloading is alright. Some files are alright and some are not. I dont use any any download manager. I need to know how to use the NRC command line switch | polo (6383) | ||
| 361035 | 2005-06-04 04:03:00 | Polo, I don't think you can use a /NRC option . However, there is a (not recommended) /NCRC option . ;) If the install package is called "fredinstall . exe", just enter fredinstall . exe /NCRCto a Command window . This will try to do the install without doing a CRC check as each component of the software is decompressed . It's not recommended, because the package isn't useful unless it's all correct . You are getting an error when the check is done . From a quick look around Google, this problem can be caused by various things . If you are short of disk space, the decompression can fail . A discussion on a NASA site resulted in the problem download package being rebuilt using a different method of compression . So it might be a basic problem in the package itself . |

| 361036 | 2005-06-04 04:36:00 | I know this error can happen, if u download a incomplete file . I just tried it, to test it with winamp, with a download manager, stopped it and tried to run the incomplete download . It said exactly the same error you're asking about . This is the error you're getting? . neoburn . net/imagef1/files/nsiserr . jpg" target="_blank">sal . neoburn . net |

| 361037 | 2005-06-20 02:53:00 | I had the same problem. Speedy Gonzales' idea that an incomplete file was downloaded appears to have been my problem. The file shouldn't have closed, but it did. And it produced the NSIS Error. I wish error messages were generated with the same care that the main part of the program gets. I have programmed for many years and probably the thing that took the longest to learn is to trap errors properly so you can give the user the correct solution. All too often the programmer puts an "on error jump to errmsg" instead of "on error filsiz jump to filsizerrmsg" and on error "on error nodotoveri just to putdotmsg" like they should do. |
