Whatever happened to the PRR East V2?

[oper190]

My mistake, my apologies; it's ID 84625. Eyesight plays tricks on me as I get older.

Had just searched and found it and downloaded again, still won't open. Tried two different extraction programs, no good. Going to hunt up my orginal download.

1 - This route was designed as a "mini-route" and must be installed as such.

You can't even get that far. The zip file is corrupt.

Okay- found my original ZIP, downloaded in 2023 ( not 2019 ) and it works perfectly, so the existing ZIP had gotten corrupted somehow.

That solves the mystery and is good news. Possible to upload or share the clean file?

That's a no no. It's a technicality, but eric would have to do it.

Hi:
If Eric agrees, I can upload my file prr-east-v2-install.zip, obtained from this site at 2020-12-13, which I’ve verified opens correctly and completely. It's a clean file.
Regards.

What is the right way to ask Eric?

Send eric a PM explaining your problem and ask him to reupload the file. He is not a monster.

Hi Everybody.

Thanks

Hi Paul,
PLEASE read this whole thread!

The .zip file currently available from this site's library is corrupt. It either needs Eric to fix it, if possible, or for someone to have permission to upload a 'good' version.
I suggest you keep watching this thread for any more news.

FYI : File PRR-EAST-V2-INSTALL.exe within the .zip file is corrupt and its reported size is much smaller (232,566KB) than it should be (1,362,346KB)
(Based on my 2019 download)

Cheers,

It's freeware, right? And uploaded here (albeit apparently corrupted)?

So why does Eric need to make special arrangements for a good copy to be re-uploaded?

This program is copyright by Vince Cockeram. I'm not sure but I think it may be stipulated that it can only be distributed by TS.COM.

Hi,
The readme supplied with the route doesn't mention any restriction regarding its availability and neither does it contain any copyright conditions.
It is announced as "Public Beta version 2 by Vince Cockeram".
It may be a bit of a 'grey' area so Eric's advice/help should be sought.

My version (downloaded 2019) installs OK so the corruption probably occurred during changes made to this website.

Special note for PAUL : The readme specifies that this route MUST be installed as a separate installation and NOT added to any other routes (ie treat as a mini-route).

Cheers,
Ged

I also hit a wall at 17% so there's something not write about the file itself.

The offsite backup installed clean for me just a few minutes ago, so I've replaced what was on the server with the backup copy.

That should work. No idea what might have happened, as the timestamp on the two files match.

Many thanks, Eric

The number of folders and files and their total size are identical to those of my original download.

Cheers,
Ged
