Installer stops working during installation

Ankit Kumar

I am doing an online course on Embedded systems on EDX. I need to work on Keil for ARM and was instructed to download and install mdk474.exe. I have tried at least 10 times but the installer stops working after working for some time.I have tried troubleshooting compatibility problem but it didn't help.Which browser should I use to download the setup?.I have windows 8 64 bit operating system.I had keil uvision 4 for programming 8051 which I have completely removed.Instructions which followed:edxorgutaustinx.s3.amazonaws.com/.../download.html. Please help me solve this problem as soon as possible.

    Your instructions are not readable...

    Doesn't Keil provide an MD5 sum for the download? Is that correct?

    If your internets are broken, no one here can fix them for you. So downloading a few 100MB .EXE file needs to occur properly for anything else in the install to succeed.

    Do you have supervisor rights on your machine? Do you have AV software interfering with the install operation? Do you have a download manager? Can you obtain the installer on a flash drive from someone else? Do the school staff provide support?

    Note that many web browsers remembers previous downloads.

    So if they have already retrieved a broken download, they will continue to produce the same broken file again and again if you try to download again.

    So when it fails with one browser - switch to another. Or get the "wget" program and download from the command line.

    If you happen to sit behind a proxy, then your download might fail whatever program you may try to run - then check if you can download using https instead to force an encrypted transfer.

    And if you have a MD5 - verify if the retrieved file has the same value.

    Thank you all for your reply.
    The file size is 576.82MB but MD5 sum is wrong as I verified it. I used chrome but now I will try to download it from firefox. I downloaded it from an internet cafe(had good internet speed) where I used a browsing account on the computer and I don't know if it created a problem.I took the setup in a pen drive and tried to install it in my laptop and I failed to install it.I even stopped my antivirus from working and I have administrative rights on my laptop.
    I will give a try on what you suggested and let you know.
