I just bought x-plane 10 and I was till a couple of minutes ago trying to download the full 60GB file.

I have now encountered the same error several times and each time I got it I clicked on the continue button and each time I got the same message, the mysterious: Error: 2:504.
Screenshot of error message: https://i.gyazo.com/ddcae8dbb0d909ba905614fd0973891a.png

Now, I can assure you that my PC's specifications are well above minimum spec:

I7 5820k w/o overclock.
16GB's of DDR4 RAM @ 2400mhz.
GTX 780 3GB's w/o overclock
249GB's of space on the HDD I am installing on. (my E: drive)

*UPDATE*
{  
My internet speed is 500m/bits per second and the download speed I am experiencing is quite slow too, between 0.5 and 9MBp/s. (500mbitp/s = 60MBp/s)
Other than the download speed, I clicked the continue button again and the error has not popped up again since.
The error did appear about 4 times before this.
}

 

*UPDATE 2.0*
{
The installer finished after the full download with the same error, just without a "continue" option.

}

I can not install on my desktop as I do not have enough space on my SSD / boot drive to install it on, however, there should not be any restrictions on the "E:" drive.

I hope you can resolve my question quickly as I am very much looking forward to my time with the simulator.

Hi Jonathan,

Can you upload a copy of the "X-Plane Installer log.txt" found on the desktop? I'd like to see the error note in the log.

After opening the .exe file that was installed despite the error message, the launcher asked me to update and then the install was finalized.
