I bought Xplane11 from Aerosoft with the 9 DVDs and like a previously asked question, I can not install because of the error message "the installer cannot extract a file Error5:20001"

Xplane support site states that this problem is caused by Aerosoft mastering of the DVD which results in file names being lower case so that are ignored - the site has provided a "fixed" installer to get round this problem (see http://developer.x-plane.com/2017/04/linux-and-aerosoft-dvds-and-fixed-apps/)

However, I have downloaded the fixed version of the installer but it does not work for me and after trying it a number of times I always get the same error message.  Any suggestions please.

Thanks, I have filed a bug report today (I originally thought they would already have a bug report for this but your suggestion seems obvious now)
