[SOLVED] FallenEnchantress-0.75_beta_setup.exe will not open.

from Stardock Forums

I am in the process of downloading FE for the 4th time. I am assuming I am getting corrupted downloads. 2 of the 4 (one attempt is in progress) downloads ended at 300megs or so and claim to be done downloading. The file I assumed was complete is 2,395,603kb. Can anyone confirm this is the whole size?

When attempt to the run the installer, I get a loading icon but nothing happens. The computer will continue to load, locking the up the containing folder until I end the task which briefly restarts explorer.

Watching the task manager, I don't see any FE executable ever open, as if the file was never completely read. In addition, windows explorer keeps crashing when I navigate the folders I save the file in.

Try downloading through a download manager. If your file siz is ~2.00 gb the download is corrupted. The file size should be a bit over 2.00 gb (2.30 gb?)

Mine got corrupted too, so I'm using a free download manager.

Okay, used the download manager, double clicked the executable and now.... waiting. I'll go do something for ten mins and see if something pops up.

Oh my lord I hate my vista/machine whatever causes this... After 15 mins of waiting, the user account safety BS came up and asked if I wanted to allow it to open. I even ran it as an administrator.

 

Anyway, problem solved...

Mine's still corrupt after using a download manager!

I'll try and download it again later....maybe there'll be less people downloading.

I used a download manager and mine was still corrupt. :(

 

Man, this took me a week on my slow connection!

 

Is there any word on a Stardock download manager? Or at least an official torrent?
