Title: FSO installer issue, couldn't find in Frequent issues
Post by: sqaregadget on June 30, 2011, 12:15:26 am

I'm trying to install the windows (non-java) version of the FSO installer.  It gets close to be doing, but then stalls here:

Download Mirror 1 (http://fsport.freespacemods.net/releases/) has failed.
All Download Mirrors have failed.

The progress bar just says "working" and doesn't move on.

Any suggestions? I've tried putting Freespace in different folders, made sure I had the .dll files, etc...Thanks for any help!

At least two people have complained about the same thing. The Installer apparently fails when it tries to download FSPort (so it doesn't really depend on your actions in any way). As someone not affiliated with the Installer in any way, I can only suggest that you either wait a few days and try again, or forget the Installer for now and install FSO stuff manually.

Edit: Apparently this is because of a new feature added to the FSPort downloads that the Installer doesn't quite understand (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=76844.msg1526928#msg1526928). And also apparently, it should be fixed now.

AWESOME! Thanks for the help.  I'll try again today and if there are any more issues I guess I'll just do it manually :P
