New to the SCP and am having trouble with the installer
on: January 20, 2011, 02:43:42 pm
First off I'm new here, so I'm sorry if I missed something obvious. I read all of the FAQ and how to install first before posting but there is always the possibility I overlooked something, so if I did I apologize.

My problem is whenever I click on Turey's link to get the FSO installer, the webpage always shuts down saying the page is "not responding" One time it even said it stopped it because of the potential for malicious software but I think that was a fluke.

Is there any other link to download it from or maybe a new installer that I missed? I already have everything else and I'm pretty sure its the only thing I'm missing.

Bluh. I would recommend just following the manual install instructions, they're not that bad. Installer's been dumb lately.

Spewing errors, not installing files properly, generally arsing around.

However that link might work fine.

I knew I would miss something obvious that was in the FAQ.

My video tab is empty though because I havent been able to get latest build on there. I saw the FAQ for when the file wont load but for the love of me I cant find the launcher6.ini file anywhere in my FS2 files (even searched the whole comp)

launcher6.ini is generated.
run the jar I posted and follow the instructions, that should fix everything.

Ok I see my problem now, I cant open the JAR files. I simply get a message asking me if I want to find it or save it

Thought I had everything downloaded to read everything but I guess I missed something

jar files are opened with java. if you are running windows and you don't have/want java you can also use this
http://www.fsoinstaller.com/files/installer/FreeSpaceOpenInstaller.zip

but the .jar download is smaller and works for all platforms.
