There's a \logs folder where you ran fsoinstaller.jar from.  Zip that up and attach it.

Indeed, the logs say some files didn't download.  Maybe try again now that it's been a day, and if it still does it, someone might have to fix something I'm guessing.

No, doesnt work.

Maybe the files were moved/renamed on the server?

You could try manually downloading the files mentioned in the logs -- if you can't, then you may have a problem either 1) at the server hosting the files, 2) at your ISP blocking those servers (!) 3) on your computer blocking those servers (!).

You could try using Google DNS, they look up host names faster and are smarter about blocking potentially harmful hosts (I've seen ISPs block hosts based on old or outdated info... either that, or they didn't like the host.  Switching to Google DNS fixed the problem.)  Google DNS also resolves names much faster, lessening the time before websites (and file downloads) load.

Hmm.  I tested the Installer, but I already have a lot of the files, so it probably just verified I had them and didn't download them.  Let me try testing manually.

You don't want FSO 3.6.14 (it's very, very old) and there was no 3.6.14 MediaVPs. There's just 3.6.12 and 2014.

MediaVPs     <-- that's the release thread for 2014, .10 and .12 are linked to in the top of the post.  You may want to also install .12 (and less possibly, .10) for compatibility with older mods, but usually you can just modify the older mods' mod.ini file to point to the newer (2014) MVPs  make sure you put the MVPs (and any other mod) in the recommended folder, as it makes troubleshooting problems much easier (and if you don't, you have to mod any other mods that depend on that mod to point to your custom folder).

Do you have any specific examples of mods that won't work if they're pointed at the 2014 MediaVPs instead? Knowing which ones they are might get somebody to update them.

Just change the reference to the .12 MVPs to 2014 MVPs in the mod.ini file in the mod's root directory.
