CRC Errors with Mindjet Labs Solution Downloads

Published 10 January 07 08:28 AM | Michael S. Scherotter 

Since I started updating the Mindjet Labs solution downloads from .msi files to .exe files, I have received a few emails that users are seeing CRC errors when running the installers, specifically with the Google Desktop Search Plug-in, the Requirements Manager, and the Word 2007 Map Editor.  I have been changing the installers from .msi files to .exe files created with WinZip Self-Extractor to work around a permissions problem with Windows Vista.  With Windows Vista, running the .msi files directly does not give the user sufficient permissions to install the add-ins.  If you are seeing this CRC problem, please try the following options:

  • Indifferent Your system may be infected with a virus.  See this article for more information.
  • Computer This could be caused by filename collision when the self-extracting zip unzips into a temporary directory on your system.  Please clear out the temp directory on your system from the Start Menu\All Programs\Accessories\System Tools\Disk Cleanup and try installing again.
  • Arrow Right Try installing the solution on a different system.
  • Arrow Down Open the .exe file in an unzipping application like WinZip, extract, and install the .msi file.

Please comment on this post to tell us what works and what doesn't work.
