Hello
I have downloaded MobiFlight Connector from the MobiFlight website. I run the installer and a message displaying the following appears

Download failed, installation aborted! Please run installer again or unzip manually.

I click OK and the same message appears every time I attempt to download for Windows10.
Below is the instal.log.txt

Hi

The "installer" basically just start a little programm that check if MF is already installed..... If NOT then it request to Download the MF Data File from Web ( Github i think)
Then it check if the file is downloaded andif yes it unpack it.

In your case the File was not downloaded.

Maybe the Service was not available that time ( i don´t think so)..... OR you got a Protection Software ( Antivir, Firewall e.g.) that protect 3rd Party Software to download a file without permission.

Solution.
Please start MF Installer with ADMIN Rights..... Allow MF to handle Downloads if currently blocked in Security settings.

If all not work you can download MF Software via GitHub Page also by hand. https://github.com/MobiFlight

Good Luck !

Hi mrgowing, logs say the download failed, can you try to download this manually --> https://github.com/Mobiflight/MobiFlight-Connector/releases/download/9.0.0/MobiFlightConnector-9.0.0.zip

if is not working, you have a problem or your PC or internet connection, perhaps firewall or security system.

Mobiflight files are hosted on github.

If the download work, you can copy this file with the installer to a directory, and start the installer, he will install Mobifilght.
