Problems installing "Star_Trek_OB_ST_0_20100108a"

SystemSystem Member, NoReporting Posts: 178,019 Arc User
Ok so I just finished downloading Star_Trek_OB_ST_0_20100108a.zip from fileshack, it weighs in at 6.38 GB. I use 7zip to extract it and I end up with only 3.70 MB worth of data. I run the only exe and I get "not a valid win32 application" error. Files in archive are as follows:

apr2005_d3dx9_25_x64.inf
d3dx9_25.dll
d3dx9_25_x64.cat
d3dx9_25_x64.inf
infinst.exe

Ideas, suggestions?

    You're missing about 1.27GB of data there. Try downloading it again.

    My wife and I had the same issue with the fileplant download...

    We are currently downloading from fileshack and will hopefully get a correct zip file.

    Fileshack is having way faster download speeds than fileplanet so I am hoping this new download will fix this issue... is wierd that there seems to be incomplete zip files being served out to us from the various download sites.

    But the size of the compressed file matches up to how big fileshack says it is, the reason its 1.27 GB smaller than fileplanets is probably because fileshack compressed it more to save download time.

    any other suggestions other than downloading it again?

    I am using the Cryptic Downloader, at 60% downloading at about 150-300 kb/s. I am hoping this is more reliable then the mirror sites. If that helps...

    OK it obvious the acrhive is courrpoed. A few hours ago thebigdownload had to temporarily remove the same file cause the were experience problems with the download. Although they didn't specify the problem (but its obvious now isn't it?).

    So I've tried unzipping/installing on a different machine with WIN7-64 (other one was XP-32) and no luck. However after some googling I have decided to try and repair it. I'll post back if I have any luck.

    UPDATE: I think its working! So far 270 files have been repaired and the new archive is getting bigger and bigger. I'm using DiskInternals ZIP Repair 1.0 btw.

    It did not work. Archive is too corrupted for the free programs to fix. I'm just going to re-download since its on usenet now anyways.

    This scares me...I'm downloading from fileshack as we speak...I'm going to be livid if I wake up and have to re download from somewhere else due to a corrupt file. I've even got the mercury pass so I get faster d/l times but man...this will be the 3rd day trying to d/l if thats the case. Has anyone had GOOD luck with fileshack?

    Our fileshack download either just finished or was about finished... then we received an error and the download failed.

    We are having really crappy luck with fileshack and fileplanet. Oh well... The next thing we are going to try is just getting the setup.exe from the torrent and have that run and pull everything else in. It seems that has worked for some people, and at this point no harm no foul.

    I tried doing that but in addition to the setup.exe being missing from the fileshack source, a lot of the .hoggs were corrupt as well :(

    Spent too much time on this tonight ;) heh So to end the night, we got just the setup.exe file from the torrent and ran that. It ran the installer, it is appearing to pull down the needed files, and over all looks to be going well.

    At the very least at least we got to have a look at the launcher :D

    I think it is time to head to bed, and will check things tomorrow. Good luck everyone

    I downloaded from fileshack as well, it is not a valid file. I wish Cryptic would have checked it themselves.

    Fileplanet keeps resetting my queue and placing me last in line, the one time it got to downloading, it errored out saying click the link and go to the information tab on y browser, but there was no information link or tab.

    LOL. This is a joke. Cryptic might wanna check out there zip files before sending out a corrupted one to their partner sites that thousands of people are going to download. I tried fileplanet. They kept putting me back at the end of the line and when it did start it was really slow. Then I paid to sign up to file shack for a month,and after 5 and a half hours, a corrupted download. Winrar shows some files, 7zip shows different ones, none of them will extract. I'm going to try the torrent next, and if that doesn't work I guess I'm not going to try out the game.

    Might still buy it, after I see the reviews, and after cryptic say's what its gonna cost each month.Still baffles me on how a company can sell a game to people without those people knowing how much it is going to cost each month. I don't go for that.

    OK... so that worked... and my wife just logged in from home and got to the character select screen. The patcher did freeze up overnight, so we started it back up this morning, it picked up where it left off, and now is installed and seems to be working.

    After downloading twice from various sites, I wish now that I would have just downloaded the setup.exe from the torrent and just let the patcher work its magic.

    Anyway, as long as something weird doesn't happen, looks like I will be able to check things out when I get home tonight :cool:

    Fileplanet proved to be too dificult to get started (doesn't work with Firefox and demanded IE) and the Cryptic dowmloader proved to be way too slow, so I went with AtomicGamer. Still took me almost 24 hours over DSL and I got the "compressed zip file is invalid or corrupted" error when done, but 7-Zip instantly fixed that and I was able to install and log in. Of course, I then got the 10gb patch (looks like another 10 or 12-hour download), but that's another thread.

    I have problems with unzipping this file! My Unzipprogram says there are 3 Files corrupt.
    I don't want to download a second time. Where can I find the files as single files to donwload?

    I have no account by Newzbin and Astraweb.
    Is there no webserver who has the files?
