AIM 6.5


Question Posted Sunday March 16 2008, 9:33 pm

I cannot install AIM 6.5
Every time I get an error message that says Error code IS-2008 and it stops the installation. I've already tried looking for help on aols support page. What can I do?

Error IS-2008 indicates that the installer is corrupted: the file was downloaded only partly.

Delete the installer and download it again. The re-downloaded version may work.

If not, delete the installer and try each one of these links until you get one that works:

If none of those links work, I have prepared a special downloader for you. This downloader will download it correctly unless your internet access is very unstable. You can download it at any one of these links:

[Link](Mouse over link to see full location)

The downloader is in a zip file. You must first extract ALL of the files in the zip file, and then run RUNME. If you can't extract the zip files for whatever reason, use 7zip:

If none of that works, call your internet service provider and yell at them for giving you unreliable service. Then get a new internet service provider.
