Every time I've tried to update to the latest version of PFRPG, I get the following error:

"An error occurred while extracting the contents. The import file is likely corrupted. Please try downloading the file again."

I've tried redownloading numerous times and I continue to get the same message. I'm not sure why I keep getting this.

I have not had any problems, so you should probably open a support ticket if repeated downloads keep failing to process.

You can also go to the Download page from LW and manually download the pathfinder.hl file. Then double click it to start the installer. Another option encase some Firewall/Antivirus you have is messing with the download through HL.

HL is allowed through my firewall. I'm trying to download directly from LWD...we'll see what happens.

Just sharing what I have seen a good number of times. Assuming its Windows it can do updates to the Firewall software that suddenly causes issues. I know MS Defender for awhile was causing issues with downloads through HL because it blocked 99% of the file.

A few other times people have traced issues back to the Antivirus software did an upgrade/update and was blocking. Sometimes by downloading through the browser instead "sometimes" you get helpful pop up messages.

Huh? You do?!

Oh, you must mean using a browser other than IE/Edge, such as Chrome or Firefox...! You had me confused there for a second.

People use IE/Edge? I always thought that was the Chrome downloader
