Hi -

Please forgive the Newbie question - I am sure it is something simple I am doing wrong.

I am trying to create the install file on a USB drive and have downloaded the file many time to create the boot USB drive. I unzip the file and double-click on the create_install - it starts brings up a blue window and asks me to okay the the process and then aborts stating the MD5 does not match. It says the file is probably corrupt and suggests I download it again. I have done this at least ten times with the same result.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Ted
Welcome to the XBMC forums.

Have you checked or asked over at the OpenELEC forums to see if there's a problem with their installation files? http://openelec.tv/forum

I appreciate the reply - I tried that as stated before - no luck. I'll give it another try tomorrow, maybe I'll have better luck.

Thanks again!

Finally worked! I guess I was tired last night - I created an account first try this morning.

Thanks again!

Their website has a bug,

I tried to register for a while, nothing would happen, no feedback, it would just refresh the register page. I never got an activation e-mail either.

I finally went on their irc channel (web based client available through their website) and asked a mod to activate my account
