Continous network error with the Online installer

ElectroniCitizen

Merry Chrismas and Happy New Year to everyone!

I'm trying to install Qt open source SDK with the Qt online installer, unfortunatley I always get the following error message:

I've spent many hours to track down the problem, searched in the forums and another websites so far without any luck.

Tried to run the installer in adminsitartion mode, added as an exclusion to the firewall but nothing changed.

Can somebody help me what I'm missing here?

@SGaist Maybe a rookie question but how can I do that? I only changed the repositories that are listed in the settings:

(I went trough the list one by one enabling only one of them at the time, still didn't do the trick)

SGaist

Hi and welcome to devnet,

Did you already tried to change the mirror used ?

@ElectroniCitizen

as @SGaist said, the mirror could be down or unreachable.
some firewalls or proxies prevent redirection
some firewalls block apps by default.

@ElectroniCitizen
Not a rookie question at all. We have carefully hidden the switch ;-)
You'll find the available mirrors here.
To use a specific mirror, run the maintenance tool from the command line with the option --mirror https://yourMirror.com.
Check this for more options.

@Axel-Spoerl Thank you very much, it worked however a new question arised. The following command was used : ```
qt-unified-windows-x64-4.6.1-online.exe --mirror https://download.qt.io/online/qtsdkrepository/windows_x86/root/qt/Updates.xml

which solved the broken connection issue but only the following components were listed:


Shouldn't be more packages in here?  Also I forgot to mention that it would be a fresh install so no Qt version is currently present on my machine.

Definitively. If you click on the mirror link, you will see which packages should be offered for installation/update.

The command line options are for the maintenance tool. I am not so sure about windows, but I think that you are running the downloaded executable, which actually installs the maintenance tool. I wouldn't expect windows to pass the command line arguments in that case. If I am mistaken and the executable is the maintenance tool, you could try qt-unified-windows-x64-4.6.1-online.exe cc, which clears the cache. It could have been poisoned by a previous attempt with a broken mirror.

@Axel-Spoerl The installer is different from the MaintenanceTool.exe, but I installed that one package which was listed in the installer and that also installed the MaintenanceTool. However running the MaintenanceTool with cleared cache and the suggested options still not listing the necessary packages:

Also tried to install the Qt sdk 6.6.0 with the following command:

MaintenanceTool.exe --mirror https://mirror.netcologne.de/qtproject/online/qtsdkrepository/windows_x86/root/qt/Updates.xml --accept-licenses --default-answer --confirm-command install qt6.6.0-sdk

And I get the network error, files not found error etc:

Similar experience with the suggested mirror as well.
