Error sending file download request on Win 7

This problem appears generally if you install a program that needs to download the updates. Most of the times of these programs you can disable downloading update function from the wizard and all you have to do is to untick the checkbox in front of the download update function. You can download the updates later manually.

Have you tried removing the program and doing a fresh install? This works for me a lot when I run into this error. Just make sure to also restart your computer after the uninstall, this way we can assure all files have been rearranged correctly. If youre still receiving this after a new install I would check the error codes specific to that program.

Error sending file download request on Win 7

If you receive that message when installing a program, it means the installer you are using is a web installer. When you are using this kind of installer, the entire installation process requires internet connection that’s why you cannot disconnect from the internet while the program is being installed. If you don’t want to see this error, you should download the standalone installer.

A standalone or offline installer does not require internet connection because the file itself is the complete setup or installer package. To troubleshoot your problem, check your connection. If your computer is connected to a Wi-Fi router, try resetting the router. If the router has a power button, press it to turn it off then unplug the router from the power for about 10 to 20 seconds.

Press any button on the router to drain any leftover power. After this, plug the router back to the power and turn it on. When the router is ready, try installing the program again and see if it works.
