build for Windows - Installation issue

Post by p.m.sundaram »

I am unable to open / unzip the 'thunderbird-win32.zip' file from both 2003-04-28 and 2003-05-03 trunks.
Winzip's error message is "can not open file: it does not appear to be a valid archive. .....". Powerarch's error message is "error in ZIP structure......Error reading ZIP file".

Try downloading it again with another software.
Some recent Firebird builds had a bug with ftp that resulted broken files when downloading...

Ure best bet for broken downloads is Getright or something like that, u can just browse str8 in to the ftp from the program and download from there. Also I have hear that Winzip is having problems with some of the TBird zips, try WinRaR or WinACE.
