As has been said about me...better late than never. Sorry to resurrect such an old thread but just getting to the GWX 3.0 party. This thread was the only one I could find that addressed this in detail. Might save someone the headache I went through.

Had the same problem with the inconsistent MD5 checksums on the full GWX3.0.exe from the BtS-Mods.com site and found something interesting. I was getting the same incorrect checksum for it as others on the boards here even after downloading twice: ee96ed51e0082bd920e27e416c0aff30

So decided to try some other MD5 utilities to re-verify before giving up and downloading the separate bins. WinMD5Free 1.20 and MD5 Checker 2.31 both gave the incorrect checksum above.

BUT, when I tried with the Jonesoft MD5Mate (version 1.2.0) that the GWX team has previously recommended for their files, it came up with the correct checksum: d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e

Very odd. No idea how this can be. I'll leave it to guys smarter than I to solve. In any event, the full installer did install everything correctly despite the erroneous checksums from the other two MD5 utilities and is up and running. Thanks for the great site and the full installer.
