Title: FSO Installer not working
Post by: Piemaster on September 03, 2007, 02:52:19 pm
Specs: XP Pro, Q6600, 8800 GTS 640, 2gb ram

Okay, so when I run the installer, every time I get to the page where it should let me select what I want to download, the box is just blank. It has the bar with 0% and the background, but the selections never appear. Anyone know what to do?

I don't mean to imply anything with this, but... you do have your Internet connection on, when you run the Installer, don't you?

Technically, if the Internet was off completely, it'd stop before that. Now, if the Internet was slow or lossy, then I could see it stopping there.

I've tried the .jar and .exe versions both from multiple places, and yes, I have the internet on, and its 10mb/s down, so it's not slow. It's just when I click next on the page with the two boxes to check (Only update installed components and install everything) it freezes for a second, then goes onto the next page where it says nothing and gives me no options, all I can do is click previous.

what's in the files C:\Games\FreeSpace2\Installer\installer_error.log.txt and C:\Games\FreeSpace2\Installer\installer_status.log.txt?

Installer_error.log.txt is empty, and there is no installer_status.log.txt
