  • 1.  14.2 Checksum

    This might save someone a few minutes of head scratching: the checksums for the 14.2 install media install.jar and 3rd party thirdparty.libs.14.2.0.jar are SHA1, not MD5 as previous checksums are.

    If it helps, for Windows environments I personally use Microsoft's own free download utility (it does have to be downloaded though, it isn't on the Windows OS by default) called FCIV for computing MD5/SHA1 hashes on files:

     

        Availability and description of the File Checksum Integrity Verifier utility

     

    It generates MD5 results by default, but you can specify -sha1 or -both on the command line if you want to see the other result.
