It's not all I can point to but I've moved past it and continued using the software in a productive manner.

I understand and am sympathetic towards where anyone is coming from that has been able to make do with some issues. Glad to hear you got past them, honestly.Originally posted by Regs View Post
Unfortunately I haven't and all this wasted time and money is not my fault. I've relied upon what was represented by the company to my detriment, such as in 2010. Hiding the road map and the mixing in of template and style changes with major changes elsewhere (and no road map or advance notice) creates a nightmare of upgrades. My repeating complaint has been merely" "please try to do unto others as you'd have them do unto you." Seriously... how difficult is it to put in a note in a read me file for updates about problems you know many customers are having? And you're right, I was upset when this happened before and look at the result? Instead of prioritizing important issues for communication with customers like this, they've spent that time marketing up a storm. How about letting all of us know that FB won't work with your installs if you're using 4.1.6 and prior instead of sending out several newsletters and emails pumping the Facebook app they are pimping? We forum owners have to wait until we're fortunate enough to have some user who can't register to inform you that it doesn't work.
Really... I don't want to sound off. I'm just at my wits end with this and if you saw the needless wasted time and money on stuff like this, you'd cringe. Tight budget squeezed needlessly by someone who is happy to take advantage of that, unfortunately. Anyways, I hope we can get off on a better foot from this point on. Best of luck.Comment

Thanks much - truly. This is the only way to get the installer to work without spitting out dozens of errors. Unfortunately I still have the redirect loop issue with the upgrade on the front end (back end works fine.) Still working on this and grateful for any suggestions that you can share that might have occurred to you in the course of your extensive experience listening to stories like these.Originally posted by Lynne View Post

Good suggestion and one which we also always follow: upload the .zip file to the server before extracting. Prevents all kinds of such problems and is much faster, too. -- RikOriginally posted by Lynne View PostComment

Uploading is faster. Results better? Sometimes yes, sometimes no. All too often I'll find permissions issues with gzipped files that are easier handled by avoiding them entirely by uploading the uncompressed files straight from windows. Perhaps it's a habit and not too much of a bother when you're dealing with a 10+ MBPS connection and well designed software that has error detection and hasn't failed uploads in long term memory like this.Originally posted by Rik Brown View PostComment

Since I increased the timeout settings in filezilla I never again had corrupted files, primarily the large files were often causing the errors........Comment

So, it appears your ftp software altered all the js files when it uploaded them, thus making the [MD5] checksums invalid (which is basically what the installer checks).Baby, I was born this wayComment

Very likely no such thing. But just in case now that you mention it, I'll try to guess that my FTP software specifically dislikes your vBulletin builds. Perhaps this very popular FTP software vendor runs its forums run on XenForo software, which it seems to upload all JS files perfectly. Invision Power Board uploaded splendidly earlier today. Still having problems with the mysterious redirect issue. I'm going to simply try to "upgrade" to 4.1.7 just to get Facebook Connect back, pray that there aren't too many style changes.Originally posted by Paul M View PostComment

It looks like the only files it had a problem with were ckeditor, you might want to take that up with them. As far as I know we do not do anything special to their files.Comment

Zachery - who is them? The FTP software vendors?Originally posted by Zachery View Post
I'm reporting it here because only your files are causing this problem consistently - not just once or twice. And since I am far from the only one with this exact problem, the odds clearly say that all of us are probably not the ones with the problem on our end.Comment

Hmmmm.... I just did a scan with diagnostics. This I did uploading your gzipped 4.1.7p2 just to make sure it wasn't my FTP software.
forum.php File not recognized as part of vBulletin index.php File does not contain expected contents Comment

I figured out the problem. As is 100% typical, it's once again a vBSI major fail. It's also yet another recommendation I've also made countless times here which goes in a dozen ears and out the other. Seriously, you guys in support (and Allen) should call Fabian and get a job where people appreciate the good hard work that you do. I'm very frustrated by this but at least recognize the dedication that you people make here and the knowledgeable people that you are. This is a failure from the top to just get it right.Comment

The ftp vendor, if its just the files with ckeditor. Again its something with those files.
slinky did you change the setting in the admincp about the forum home script name?Comment

Could be - but it's a bunch of users here. That's what makes it strange. Honestly, I can't remember the last time something like this happened and on over 100 files with the ability to reproduce the issue.Originally posted by Zachery View Post
No. Not sure what you're referring to either.slinky did you change the setting in the admincp about the forum home script name?

AdminCP > Settings > Options > Forum home Settings > Forum Home Script Name
(I think thats right, going 100% off of memory) what do you have that set to?Comment

I recently purchased vBulletin and installed it.
When i run Diagnostics -> Suspect File Versions i get a mismatch on those 2 files:
