I am having this error when I try to download LINQPad sample libraries: Error while unpacking sample queries: C:\Documents and Settings[user]\Local Settings\Temp\LINQPad\TempSampleQueries849247.zip is not a valid zip file.
I use LinqPad 4 (installed version). The weird thing is I also have LINQPad 4 (licensed standalone executable) at home and I didn’t encounter any problems in downloading. Do I need to have license to be able to download the sample files?
Edit:
I am also having problems in activating my LINQPad. The error says: Unable to contact licensing server: The remote server returned an error: (407) Proxy Authentication Required. I pretty much sure I’m not using any proxies. Please help! Thanks.
Are you certain you’re not going through a proxy? I don’t see any other way you could be getting a 407 error. Entering the proxy username/password into LINQPad’s proxy dialog (Edit | Preferences | Updates) should fix it.
If you’re still unable to proceed, you can perform an offline activation here and download the sample libraries via a web browser here. After downloading a samples zip file, click ‘Download more samples’ and type in the local file path to import it.
