download program did not install

I tried to download/install a game from realarcade today. When the installer
program was running I got a message that an error occured. I tried to
redownload the game and this time I got a windows message that files were
corrupted, try again. I also got a dialog box saying the program might not
have installed properly or I could check it had installed properly. I
clicked cancel but immediately another box appeAred as if it were trying to
install. I hit cancel.

My question, where does all the files/programing reside after I hit cancel.
Can any of it be left over and be in an incomplete state and mess up
anything else? I looked in programs to see if it could be uninstalled but it
was not in that list.

Use a system restore point back to just before you tried the installation.

I download installers to the desktop or other place where I know I won't
lose track of it and install from there. I just feel like I know what's
going on better. And I always set a new restore point just in case the
installer doesn't (supposed to).
