sha-1 checksum on win installer

Postby jaschoon » 02 Jul 2013 20:38

hello:

having downloaded the install file (vlc-2.0.7-win32.exe for windows) i found that an sha-1 checksum on the file is calculated as:
28d55b8bc1d6fee0a123482664922f038971bac4

the noted checksum on the site is:
SHA-1 checksum: fba2c432039e40c32486113fa38d79a59a26419a

help?

thanks,
js

Hi there,

I have a similar problem, though I get a different checksum:

Code: Select all

// // File Checksum Integrity Verifier version 2.05. // 06d5e5e952c61923c9d24c83e7fe1f45 vlc-2.0.7-win32.exe
I get the same result from all the mirrors.

Any thoughts?

Thanks
Al

Then it's probably the right one.

Thanks Jean-Baptiste.

FYI - the download page at http://get.videolan.org/vlc/2.0.7/win32 ... -win32.exe still shows fba2c432039e40c32486113fa38d79a59a26419a

Well, I downloaded it and rechecked and fba2 is correct.

My mistake - I used MD5 instead of SHA1.

Duh. Sorry about that.
