I'm glad it worked--can you try a file compare between the two downloads, if
you have both around?
rename each of them to a short (8.3) name which you can keep straight which
is which, and place them both in the same folder.
Go to a command prompt in that folder and do:
fc file1 file2
and see whether FileCompare finds any differences between the two files.
(I'm assuming that they are both the same build--the post February 16th .509
build)
If it does, don't post the differences--but that would seem to imply
corruption of some kind.
If there is no difference, perhaps simply attempting the install another
time was the charm.
