Can't start the installer

Ok I've tried turning off my anti-virus, alternate downloads, running it through a 3rd party installer and I always get the same error!

"Windows encountered a error while trying to access the source code"

Any help would be appreciated!

Info:

Windows 7
Eset Node antivirus

I don't think that error text is what you saw. Can you please double-check?

Also, what is the exact name of the installer you're installing from, and where did you download it from?

The actual Error is "The Installation Package could not be opened. Contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows installer package" and I'm downloading directly from ragnaroks download page.

The Full installer's name is:
iRO-14.1.2-FullInstall-20120816-2012.msi

The Full website is:

Its really weird that a microsoft machine cant read a .msi file if you ask me...

Unfortunately, your copy of the installer is corrupted and you must therefore download it again.

Ive tried atleast 2 other sources and those dont work... It might be the file type itself i'm thinking. I can try running it through a converter to change it to something else perhaps?.

That's the error windows gives when it's given a corrupted or incomplete MSI file. The cause is almost certainly that the download is failing before it finishes - rightclick on it and choose properties, and I predict you'll see it as being much smaller than the 1.4 GB size of the installer.

But you can try the non-msi installer version from irowiki ( irowiki.org/wiki/Clients_and_Patches )

If you wish to check for certain whether your copy of the installer is corrupted, then do the following:

• Download, extract, and then open SFV Ninja.
• Choose "file", "add files to list" from the menu bar.
• Choose the IRO client installer file.
• Set the value of the "mode" field (on the tool bar) to "MD5".
• Press F6 and then wait until the file's hash has been calculated.
• Compare the value of the cell in the "checksum" column (a 32-character hash) to the hash that corresponds to the version of the installer you are using in the following list:
  
  
• iRO-13.2.2-FullInstall-20110421-1717.msi: 53C0F5481EECA1F7A9268F95350E83C9
• iRO-14.1.2-FullInstall-20120816-2012.msi: 2806EE997EB555856F60CD8484AFE78A
• iRO-14.1.3-FullInstall-20121031-2012.msi (official), iRO141FullClient.msi (iRO Wiki): BF115578D107C44AA6C0E05A4A8AF864

If the hashes differ, then your copy of the installer is corrupted.

Im downloading the wiki installer atm. idk if it'll work though. if it doesn't i'll try your check Axylus.

Someone needs to make a multi-part version of the latest installer. (Hmm… Am I bored enough to do it myself?)
