everytime I try to download a new software program from the net (as an
example, I'll use Mixmeister Pro 6 demo) I went to the Mixmeister website,
downloaded the trial version of the software onto my desktop. I clicked on
the icon on my desktop to install it, and then this window pops up. It says:

Does anyone know what's going on and how I can fix this so that I can
install this program. By the way, this is not the only program that I have
not been able to install because I get this message. If anyone can help me
figure out how to fix this, I would really appreciate it. I have searched all
over the net trying to find something that will help me, but it has been
impossible. Please help me. Thank you.
