Problem With Add-On! Please Help!

Post #1by kahuna_socom » 07.05.2006, 13:46

Okay. I downloaded an Add-On for Celestia and when i tried extracting it, a message came up saying there were no files to extract. Then, when i tried opening the file, it said that it was invalid or corrupt! Can any one help? thanks

It sounds like there's a problem with the add-on zip file, which means that there's probably nothing you can do, save contact the author of the add-on.

Which add-on are you attempting to use?

This can also happen if you accidently disconnect while downloading, in which case you get a partially downloaded (or corrupt) zip file. (Check the size matches the published value.)

Also, make sure you are not using a download accelerator. They do more damage than good.
