Resolve 17 cannot be decompressed

PostSun Feb 28, 2021 7:57 am

Da Vinci resolve 10 compressed file downloaded from your site, it cannot be decompressed with 7zip, nor with winrar, nor with the windows decompressor. Could you download the executable or fix the compressed file?

Just downloaded and extracted it. No problem here with the Windows Extract tool which I have always used for Resolve.
Are you sure you downloaded the Windows version and that the destination drive has enough space?
No point in trying Winrar as this is a zipped, not a Rar file.

ya, sounds like you've got a bad download, or not enough temp space on your hard drive to store the files as they unzip.

You can use winrar on zip files without issue, and if it is a space issue, it might help you extract single files one at a time, reducing the need for temp space on your boot drive...but if your boot drive is too full for resolve to un-compress, you may want to clear up some space.

Fixed by downloading three times. The third time the file has decompressed, it is installed, but when I start it after the initial screen, everything disappears and I don't see the projects page. Yet with the 16 everything worked
