GWX reinstall not possible ?

Dear all

Due to playing around with some mods, I basically ended up with a messed up SH3.

So I did a clean reinstall of SH3, applied all patches and tried to install GWX from scratch.

All trials failed due to either GWX1.bin or one of the others being corrupt ?? (At least from my backuped historical downloads)

So - for the first time, I checked with the md5 tool. It gave me a clear indication, that in the end, GWX4.bin was the only "bad" survivor. All other files were ok - according to this tool.

So I downloaded GWX4.bin various times from different sources published in the GWX post - not even one was found to be ok by this tool ??? (And a trial install acknowledged - late in the installation - a problem with a corrupt file)

So I tried the full setup version yesterday evening - almost 800 MB to download - and to my frustration, this file already failed at the beginning of the installation (with terrain.... something).

One funny thing was, that - yesterday at the end of my efforts - running the md5 tool various times on the same set of bin files once gave me a different result for the same bin file: GWX3.bin in one test was ok, in the next test failed ????

So - what am I doing wrong ???
