Error, corrupt file unzipping P3D V5.3

Post by tcoen »

I’ve tried to install it 3 times from Google chrome and Explorer, scene2 always seems to be corrupt or broken when unzipping (winrar and default windows unzipping tool), any help?

It would seem that your downloaded file becomes corrupted somehow.

You should try re-downloading, and maybe use a download manager. For a suitable download manager, try searching the Web.

I use Google Chrome and Winrar myself, and they work fine for me. If you are going to try Chrome again, make sure it is fully updated first.

Ok so, scene 2 was broken again, I skipped it and downloaded it separately, worked perfectly fine, I think scene 2 from the full download is broken.

Thx for the help
