    FTP 7.5 Installation Error

    Hi, I got a weird issue.  I downloaded ftp7_x64_75 from the iis.net site and everytime I try to install it I get the below error... I even tried to install from IIS using the Web Platform installer and I get the same error.. How do i correct this issue?  Thanks

    this installation package could not be opened. contact the application vendor to verify that it is a valid windows installer package

    Sounds like your download is corrupt or the machine is x86 instead of x64.

    Well, I am sure it is 64-bit and I tried to dowload several different times....

    What is your OS version? What location on www.iis.net have you used?

     I just tried to install FTP7.5 on 64bit Win2008 using Web Platform Intaller and it went fine. I also succesfully tried to directly run MSI following the amd64 link on http://www.iis.net/extensions/ftp

    You could try to save MSI locally and install from command line using
    msiexec.exe /i ftp_x64_75.msi /l*xv ftp7.log
    Please check the the size of the ftp_x64_75.msi that you downloaded. Size of the file I dowloaded is 2,754,560.

    Hi the os version is Windows 2008 Server Standard SP1 x64.

     I tried the link that you sent... and tried to command line execute with the same result....  Very frustrating... The file size is correct.

    Jaroslav suggested command will generate a log file for the failed installation, and you can check that ftp7.log to see if there is any significant error. That can show us how to get things fixed.

    The best I can think is a vey unlikely case of corrupted MSi that is maybe cached locally or between your machine and microsoft download center. 

    That would explain why it fails to install. The MSI log file doesn't appear to give comprehensive information about corrupted files (though you can open the log file and let me know if there is anything actionable in there)

    If you have a public place were you could post your MSI copy so I can download it from there and see if it indeed is corrupted. Alternatively, you could find a tool to generate a hash of your file and let me know what the hash is. I could check the hash against the working copy..

    Hi Jaroslav,

     I have run the command put in never really starts so there are no entries in the log.

    You could try running MSIEXEC logging from the command line:

    MSIEXEC.EXE /i ftp7_x64_75.msi /l c:\ftpinstall.log
