Default PLEASE HELP!! Purchased Upgrade to ProTools 6.4 and Zipped Files Will Not Open!!

Hey There Everybody!! Ive been recording using AcidPro7 for years, and I finally wanted to switch to over to ProTools after hearing nothing but good things about it.. Anyway I bought myself a used Digi001 that came with PT 5.1.1 software (figured it be a good learners system). I run XP (incompatible with 5.1.1 I learned) so I tried for 2 days to update to 5.3.1 and finally gave up last night and purchased the Pro Tools 6.4 Download Update for $35 from the website..
I downloaded both files: the PT and PT Documentation. Meanwhile my digi001 was connected to my computer power light on. It said the files were around 60mb and 30mb, and what I have downloaded is only 32mb and 4mb which I am also questioning..? Butt my MAIN problem is when I click on the zipped files (I do have 7-zip downloaded to my comp to unzip files), an ERROR message pops up reading: THE COMPRESSED FOLDER (ZIPPED) IS INVALID OR CORRUPT.... Ive been going at this for 3 days now and I just want to begin making music and learning the ProTools world!!!!!!! Any input would be deeply appreciated!! Thanks!! -Brian

You must be starting a museum of audio recording? Avid still has Pro Tools 6 updates for sale, that is truly amazing. You are likely the only person who has downloaded these files in ages.

You don't need any third party software in Windows XP to unpack a zipped folder, so I would start by uninstalling whatever their party software you have added and just use the built in capability to read these files.

Try downloading using a different web browser (e.g. Mozilla or Chrome, etc.) , check you have free space on the hard drive (you should be getting lots of errors if you ran out of space so unlikely), try downloading using a different PC (or Mac etc.) and seeing if the files will unzip there.

Thanks for replying.. Yea Ive realized im pretty much in the dinosaur age but Ive been using AcidPro and needed a program that I can easily learn on, then I will definitly be upgrading..
All that being said I will uninstall 7-zip, I definitly have enough space on the computer, I wiped all the files/programs to use this desktop SPECIFICALLY for recording with ProTools.. I just deleted the PT zipped folders and am going to attempt to re-download them and hopefully things work out differently.. Thanks for the reply!!

Any other input or ideas would be greatly appreciated!!!!!

60 mb seems small for Pro Tools, even 6.4.

Also, with 6.4 you will need XP SP3 along with the 6.4cs6 and 6.4cs9 updates. You may also need the latest PACE drivers.

Be aware that 6.4 is as high as you can go with the 001.

Cheers,

Thanks for the input everybody!! I scratched the installs and went back to my Avid account and re-installed PT 6.4 and this time I recieved the whole file, and was able to extract the files and install PT.. I do have SP3, so tommorow I will look into the downloads you suggested, I do have my PACE up-to-date.. After installing PT I was excited to play around with it and a huggeee buzz killer hit me, turns out this computer has ONLY 256MG RAM!!!! Soo tommorow I will be upgrading the ram to 1GB, and hopefully I can have a weekend learning of what PT is all about!!! Any other advice or tips would be greatly appreciated as Im not scared to admit, I am a PT NOOB!! Ive been recording with AcidPro and Cubase for years, but ProTools is a whole different ballpark.. Anyway Thanks again for the input and any others are welcome to chime in!!

This is a great forum for receiving help and also gaining valuable information. There are a lot of guys here who've been using PT for years and some of us can even remember PT 6 (and earlier) as shown already by previous posts.

Visit regularly & you will see what I mean. Best of luck and have fun with your 001...agh I have fond memories of my little 001
