Installation Problem: Invalid version file
Everything goes smoothly, file permissions, systems check, extracting files
Directly after file extraction completes (before getting to MySQL page) it pops up with:
Error:
Invalid version file
Installation aborted.
Any advise?
This is a new installation, downloaded the package last night
Thanks

Please contact the support team regarding this issue or try to download the installation archive again.

Re: Installation Problem: Invalid version file
rat,
your support team is not very eager to assist. They've asked to run the installer themselves to view the error, I've given them that. They have asked for FTP access, I've given them that. They have asked me to give 777 access to certain folders, I've given them that. It does not seem as if anyone knows why this error occurs or are willing to assist with getting the problem resolved. How long should one wait before before it becomes unreasonable? Do you perhaps have a different avenue for me to pursue than your support guys?

Hi Rat
Thanks, I got it right.. Deleted everything, then manually created all directories, copied files and set the directory permissions. Then ran the installer for the Database part. The storefront is now successfully instsalled.
For reference, the problem seems to be related to the scripts being unable to set the necessary folder permissions (even though the user may set them). Thanks for the assist.
