I have problems with all three of the realtracks installation files. At about 12% of the installation progress some installation files will be reported corrupted. I usually press ignore - and then maybe a couple more files will be reported as corrupted - press ignore for each - then the installation will continue to the end, no problem. Seems to be a corruption at one spot in each of the RealTracks files. Re-downloading does not help the situation. Kevin

Hi Kevin,
Can I suggest you let support@pgmusic.com know about this just so they can check out the files.
Regards,

That's consistent with my experience as well, Kevin.

In another thread a user mentioned clearing their cache before redownloading seemed to have helped.
It does seem more than coincidental if you had the same issues though.
I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome

I have already reported this problem in another thread and sent a mail to support some 10 hours ago. I understand that PG will currently be swamped, but this appears to be a huge one, so I hope they can get to it really soon.
For what it's worth: clearing the cache and redownloading didn't help. By now I'm pretty sure it's the files on the PG Music server that are corrupt and it's not the download process itself.

I'm sure they are looking into it by now.
Hopefully patchable as opposed to re-downloading.
A quick check of the Who's Online' feature shows a few PG staff members are checking things out, and Jeff has commented in the RB forum a few times already.
They'll get it whooped.

This is the main reason I always wait a couple of weeks before purchasing. Just saying.

That's a couple weeks of no new realtracks.  The rest install fine; it appears as though about 7 out of 101 have an issue. Clicking Ignore allows the rest to install.

We have identified and fixed the 9 corrupt files in the RealTracks installation, and have a small patch to fix it (so you don't need to re-download large files) Sorry for the trouble. Just 'ignore' the error message, and then install this small patch to fix it up: http://nn.pgmusic.com/pgfiles/support/patches/realtracks206-227_patch_nov30-2014.exeOn the positive side, the PlusPAK (with 49-PAK bonus) installs 18,382 files, so that means that about 99.95% of the files were NOT corrupt

Thanks Andrew, this solves most of my problem. One issue remains though: RT226 appears to be installed, but contains 0 styles. That doesn't seem right to me?
Cheers
Philip
