I'm trying to install a couple very large programs. But everytime it
fails
and I recieve an error to the effect that the windows installer is
corrupt.
I've re-downloaded the files several times, re-did everything several
times
and am beginning to pull out what little hair I have left.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, I don't want to be bald.




Hi ,
Just scan ur pc for malware - virus+spyware and then install 4.5 msi update,
that should fix it.
