NSIS Error

I'm getting a NSIS Error when I attempt to install IIS PHP Aid.
The message is as followed:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The installer you are trying to use is corrupted or incomplete.
This could be the result of a damaged disk, a failed download or a virus.

You may want to contact the author of this installer to obtain a new copy.

It may be possible to skip this check using the /NCRC command line switch (NOT RECOMMENDED).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am trying to install IIS PHP Aid on Win2k3 Standard Edition. Using the Administrator account.
Do you have any idea's why I'm getting this error? I've installed it before on other servers using the same OS. Its also a brand new install, I only installed Win2k3 yesterday on a brand new system. So a damaged disk/virus is very unlikely.

Thanks for your help,
ThePhantom

The installer does a CRC at start up which seems to have failed here which I'd assume is why you've been prompted to use the /NCRC switch. First thing I'd try (if you haven't already) is to download the installer again and make sure you save it to a different location on your disk. Let me know how you get on.

Good stuff. Likely just a file corruption when you first downloaded it. Not common, but it does happen.

Hi Chris,

Hang tight for a week or so. The next version of the installer is in the works which will include a lot of bug fixes and the like.

Hi Mibble,

What operating system are you installing this on? Beta 2 of my installer should be out in the next week or two.

Your website states that the package is 6.05MB, but when downloaded it stops at 3MB. You really should create a new package, and upload it to your server again.

Unfortunately the NCRC switch doesn't help, since half of the data is missing..
