Grapher Install Errors

A list of install errors sometimes seen with Grapher is provided below. Click the error message you're seeing to view information about resolving the error message.

 

"Error reading setup initialization file" or "The setup file may be corrupt"

The "Error reading Setup Initialization File" and "The setup file may be corrupt" errors usually result from an unsuccessful download. Sometimes an installer package will appear to have downloaded successfully because no error message was given. But an error message is not always shown for unsuccessful downloads. EXE files contain enough information to start running, but it will only get far enough to provide the error message shown above. Since it does not have the complete file content, it will not read the setup initialization file.

Right-click over the EXE file you downloaded and go to Properties. Confirm that the Size of the file you have matches the size listed below. If it is not, please try downloading the file again. Potential causes are Antivirus or Firewall software blocking a piece of the download. If that is the case, you may have to turn down the security settings or download the EXE on a machine that has looser security.
