Install problem

Post by LEGO »

Dear OpenRA team,
Thank you for the new release. However I have problem installing it. When the process come to the last percents, it always says "download of freetype-zlib did not succeed. Aborting installation."
Any fix please?
Thanks.

http://openra.res0l.net/get-dependency. ... e=freetype works so the mirrors and webserver are not down. Not sure what is causing you trouble. Try to download using http://www.desura.com/games/openra which gives you a more user-friendly Steam-like installation experience even on Windows where dependency resolution is pretty non-existent.

Thank you Cmd. Matt, your new link works fine for me.
However I still don't get why I had this problem :?
Perheps, may I suggest that, as Freetype is not a big file anyway, why not pack it into the Installation EXE to save the trouble? because sometimes some guy may want to install it on a computer that is not connected to the internet.
