X2 install help please.

 I really didn't get far before hitting my 1st snag..  I downloaded all files for producer X2, saved to a folder, loaded to a big thumb drive, took that to my DAW (is not online) and put the folder on the desktop.     I clicked on the 1st main file "02 SONAR_X2_Producer.part1"  it started ... "extracting Setup 1 bin...."   All is good!
then I get a message saying " please download and run previous packages."  What packages?  This is the 1st file of the install?  I have everything in one folder as instructed right? What am I missing here, please help me out guys!  thank you in advance!

I clicked that, (despite the tendency to skip instructions)  and clicking on "read me - En" opened a document about know issues within the version but there is no  Read_This_First.exe file there that I can see.?

It is extracting parts 1 & 2 (no idea where it's putting them as they are not yet landing in my cakewalk folder) and when it get's to part 3 everytime I get the same message.... "Please Download & run previous packages". I am sure it is me doing something wrong but I have no clue what it is.

there is small chance you one of your file is not downloaded completely. Does it has the X2 logo? Also, check your file size against the file size of the download link.

Yes, they all have the logo.  Where is the list of file sizes to check against?   

Thank you Bristol_Jonesy, I saw that it was an exe. but all it does is open text files.  

The only difference I see is that my part 4 is 10kb less at 1,013,525  Is that a typo on your end?  

I am a little disappointed that none of the bakers have stopped in to help me out here. ?

Here is what I saw:

Explorer shell image:

After you click on the first part, it should extract files to your temp folder.
To see the files extracted, do this before you start the install (while the installation program is waiting for your input):

Go to Start menu and click Run... and then type 

%temp%

then OK.

Windows explorer will show you the TEMP folder and you should see something like this:



I copy these files and folders to save them elsewhere, then if I need to run Setup in the future I don't have to extract all these again.
