The file you are trying to *INSTALL* (not download) is corrupt.

Sorry, dont have CD, it happens when I try to download from internet.

This shouldn't come up from simply downloading unless when you download you
selected run this file which would install from that location.

Currently, this is issue is caused by the "autoexec.nt" file in
C:\WINDOWS\system32 having been deleted by malware called "WinAdTools"
go to C:\WINDOWS\repair and copy autoexec.nt back into the system32 folder.

Even if the above wasn't the cause, it's likely the file is either deleted
or corrupt so use the above procedure to replace it.
