I used another computer to download the mod, and I installed it on that computer to a folder named "proxy". From there, copying the files to my game computer worked perfectly and I am back in action. Thanks for helping me solve this, and for helping me learn my gaming machine is in trouble!

Upon further research, I have found that several other modpacks also cannot extract their files, it's not just yours. You are correct, the problem is something on my computer (dealing with file extraction) and as it turns out, we "found" the problem by using your install. So the good news is that this is not your problem, nor is there anything wrong with your work. The bad news is that my computer has been screwed up, and I can't install any mods that require "extraction". Actually, the problem is much bigger than that.

I suppose that's possible. It's not allowing your mod to extract things to the hard drive. I did not change programs (MalWareBytes), yet I don't know what updates did to it.

The good news is that v4 installed fine, doing it the way we tried. The current news is that v5 won't do it, it stalls when it starts to extract files. As things sit, I can keep using mod #4 ... or go vanilla. I'm at a loss at to why it installed one time ... just one time ... and hasn't installed since.

That worked! I installed it in another directory, with no problem. I then copied the files over and am back in the game with my favorite mod. Thank you very much!

Just tried to install again (I am a persistent ... fool?) and this time the "extracting files" hung with the following shown on the Installer: "Extracting files.... C:\...\res_mods\mods\shared_resources\xvm\res\icons\barracks\nations\japan.png" Maybe if I did not choose an option that wrote to the barracks I would be ok? I have no idea why it is even writing there!

Totally agree. Not only that, few of his options are better than yours. I would love to have yours working again, I am just at a loss of what to do, what to try, next.

I did remove the files first, I manually deleted all the files. In fact, just a few minutes ago ... I was able to use Solo's installer without problems. I agree that something in my computer, along with something in the installer ... just didn't like each other. not sure we will ever learn what was wrong.

Well ... this is still true. It fails the install at the same place (.../france.png) and just sits there. Even for the first version after the micro-patch. I have done everything I can think of, and short of being given new ideas, I will have to stop trying to use this mod. I am glad it's been there, I do not regret all my financial contributions to help keep it going. It just (appears) that it won't be for me any more.

Anti-virus, admin rights, all checked. Nothing there to fix or change that I can see. What fails is the "extraction" of files, they can't seem to be written to the folder that they need. I just finished re-installing the game for the 8th or 9th time in last 3 days, so will take note of just deleting those folders. (I was doing that before, I think I also deleted the 1.0.0 folder so the game wouldn't run at all.) For now, until I get the courage again to try ... I will just run with your XVM files as I have modified them to give me the information I prefer. Thanks for your efforts.

Well ... I tried with #8, and nothing has changed. It still hung up (stopped at the same point and sat there for over 10 minutes so far!) and did not install. I can't uninstall using Control Panel because it did not install. So, I have to uninstall WoT completely to get rid of it, re-install the game and the only help I have gotten from people is to ... use Solo's pack. I'm open to ideas folks, anyone have any?

I am installing World of Tanks for the 7th time in the last 2 days. I will try to just use Aslain's XVM Mod only ... because it should be "safe" to just copy a few files over. I hope it works. I'm not interested in uninstall/reinstall #8.

I cannot think of anything else to try to make the install work. I am out of ideas.

Well, completely uninstalled everything that Wargaming makes that was on my computer. Completely. Re-installed WoT and WoWS. Tried to re-install this mod. No can do. It still stops at the following: Extracting files... C:\...\res_mods\mods\shared_resources\xvm\res\icons\barracks\nations\france.png So, despite a TON of cleaning up (no more Game Center, either!), the problem persists. Also, after trying to install it, not only does the install fail, but the game only runs if I launch it in "clean" mode. Otherwise, it doesn't load and I have to again ... uninstall and reinstall the game. I have done that 6 times.

Yeah, the mod I miss the most is the "Auto Crew Return". The rest I can live without ... much easier.
