JGToy Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 I still cannot unpack it... Again I have tried it on all my computers with different OS, different browsers and different tools (Winrar, 7Zip) and no joy. Quote
clarkg888 Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 I am seeing the same. Seems like wincert.net is delivering a corrupted version of this to some of us. clark. Quote
clarkg888 Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 That's the thing: this is only affecting some of us. I've repeatedly downloaded the file to my computer and got the corrupt file with size 3,587,833 bytes. When I download on my work computer at work, I get the valid file with size 3,587,798 bytes: 35 extra bytes.I'm not seeing this issue with any other site. I tried turning off my AV (NOD32 version 8) and connecting through a VPN tunnel: made no difference. I'm going to try another computer at home and report back. We saw the same thing with WinToolkit_1.5.2.13_Portable.7z. I compared the bad download I got with the version that another member made available that was known good. My bad version had 35 extra bytes: 10 bytes inserted at location 35c000h, 10 bytes at 35d000h and 15 bytes tacked on the end. Very strange... Quote
X-Force Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 Run memory test. Possibly you have a bad ram problem. http://www.memtest.org/ Quote
Legolash2o Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 You can try downloading the latest test version from the 'latest builds' link in my signature. Quote
JGToy Posted October 29, 2014 Author Posted October 29, 2014 I do not think that it has to do with our computer... I just tried again and still the same problem.All downloads from another link like the one above by Legolash2o works just fine so, there must be something on the original link. Quote
clarkg888 Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 I agree with JGToy. Downloading test builds directly from the Latest builds link works fine. The links on the page go directly to the file. For example: WinToolkit_1.5.3.2_Portable.7z 3.42MBWednesday 29th October 2014 3:36pm However, when the test builds get removed from the page, a link to the official download page at http://www.wincert.net/forum/files/file/5-win-toolkit/ is put there instead. When we click on the Download button on that page, I go to a url like this:http://www.wincert.net/forum/files/go/975c2b37e45c810580a7252bba3fd8ce/win-toolkit The portable Download button on that page links to http://www.wincert.net/forum/files/get/975c2b37e45c810580a7252bba3fd8ce/2243-WinToolkit_1.5.2.16_Portable.7zThis is where I get the corrupt download.I always get a corrupt download on my main Windows XP machine. I just tried on a Windows 7 VM on that same machine and it downloaded correctly! There is some weird interaction between wincert and my machine. Clark. Quote

When you said you got a good download (Windows 7 VM) is it from the main page or from the testing page? In my case unfortunately doesn't work that way, I have 7 computers ranging from Windows Vista to Windows 8.x plus VMware Workstation 10 in each one of them and I have tried in all with no difference whatsoever. What amazes me most is that it never happened before, it just started (I don't recall exactly) around 4 or 5 version ago but I never posted about it because I thought it will go away eventually but it didn't.

Now I'm not sure which I downloaded to the VM...Anyway, today I'm getting a good download to my main computer from the main page. This was after Wincert came back up: I was getting notices this morning that wincert was moving and unavailable. Perhaps the move fixed it? Clark. Quote

Hey Clark,You are right about that, I just tried on the main page and the download/extraction was perfect no problems at all. I guess the site was the culprit after all and the move correct the problem.But we are good now and I hope it stays. Au revoir! :welcome:Jay Quote
