Hi Burnmore, ive tried that they all have x2 logo and .exe and when i double click part 1 it loads for a bit then i get the error message 'please download and run previous packages' i think the original file is corrupt so there is no way of getting passed this until cakewalk hopefully will help me out tomorrow

My error message says:
"Package integrity check failed: the package has been truncated or corrupted, and it will close. Please try to obtain a valid copy."

Hi indravayu, do you keep getting the error message 'please download and run previous packages' ?

indravayu, ive emailed cakewalk so hopefully will get a response on monday. What a waste of a weekend, but i really hope to get it sorted tomorrow and hope you get yours sorted too. Thankyou to everyone who has tried to help me, it is much appreciated. kind regards Ben

I finally got it to install - after maybe the 20th time of downloading every file. I'd wager it's just a traffic problem with Cakewalk's servers.

Had to make sure my antivirus was turned off before initiating the install, too, once I checked each file after downloading to see if I was still getting the error message.

Thats cool you got yours to install, i tried downloading again still wont work same error message, and sadly no response from cakewalk today either, i have my fingers crossed i hear from them tomorrow

I give up :-( there must be some glitch in my computer, i downloaded files on a different pc and transfered them accross, started to run them to be greeted with the same error message. Ive spent 5 days trying to get this to work, i guess its time to through in the towel. as it was a download i dont think i can get a refund :-( such a frustrating waste of time and money. I will have to stick with X1 as there just seems absolutely no solution, i just cant figure this out, and cant afford to spend anymore time on this.

Ben- personally I strongly recommend that you spend the $30 and get the DVD's coming as soon as they are available. I know you may think it's good money after bad - but it's a small investment to get X2 up and running.
Meanwhile, run X1 and take a deep breath and wait for the dust to settle - 
I know it's frustrating.
If it's any consolation - X2 is extremely solid here. A great release. I have the world's slowest "broadband" connection (LOL) and downloading the files was an experience, but I knew what i was in for, and just decided to be patient - it took me a couple of days but what the heck....
X2'll be ready to go when you are ready to give it another try - 

Ok Ben: the system is usualy not on the net... so il ask how well is the os updated and like net frame work ect...plan B: go somewhere else and d/l the packages >!!

Have you contacted tech support? They might be able to help you by setting up a remote to your computer and helping you install it. If the files are indeed downloaded properly there is not a whole lot that can go wrong. There has to be something messed up with the file extensions or permissions on your system. Tech will be able to troubleshoot that with you.
Its fruitless trying to do this over a web forum.

Hiya Noel, yes i contacted tech support 4 days ago and havnt got a response yet, i'll send them another message today. Kind Regards Ben
