Retro Synth Pack - Corrupt?

Post by BerlinMike » Fri Sep 02, 2011 5:57 pm

Hi,

I recently downloaded the retro synth pack from the website and trying to install it I get a message saying it is corrupt.

Downloaded it again and get the same thing...

Any thoughts?

Thanks

Mike

I downloaded this too - My thoughts were it is very kind of Ableton to let us have this free download.....if it worked that is............ :lol: .................

Seriously though - It would not unpack when I tried to install it by dragging it into the project window .... shall I download this again? -

Does anyone have it working? - I hope so!!!!

I tried downloading it again but no joy with getting it working.

DO you just drag the file into the work area of live or is there a fancy way to install it?

I have downloaded it 3 times now and with my ISP giving me grief about going over my monthly limit I dont really want to try again if it is a waste of time.

I've got Live 8.25 installed - My broadband isn't the quickest but is unlimited - assuming you can download the item completely you drag the soundpack into the project window and wait for it to do its thing.

Archive the pack on your backup drives btw.....

I had to wait a little while - I've got XP on my PC with 4GB RAM so and it still took longer than other live packs to get it going!!! but it did work -

You just double-click it and it installs to your library. I installed it on OS X without any issues. It took a long time to download and quite some time to install. But then all was well.

I downloaded and copied the file from my desktop to an usb-stick and tried a lot of ways to install it on my laptop. Each time I got an corrupt file error.
So I just downloaded the file directly on my usb-stick (instead of copying it from my harddisk) and now it seems to work.

Hi,
On 2nd attempt it worked for me. If you are experiencing this, do not click icon while it is downloading, let it download completely. Then you double click the icon and it worked for me. If I think of anything new to help I will post.

Of course you dont open it while its downloading, just make sure you have live 8.2 or higher installed (solved my problem since i had 8.1.3 installed)
