Which Operating System do you use? and what were the exact error messages?
Maybe it helps, if you download the file again.

also is this while your installing it that you get these messages or when you try to start it up. but i agree with jack forward; if the problem continues just redownload it, its only a 15 minute download anyway

Win XP pro, i get errors when i try to start the programs

for ZIP: The file is either unknown format or damaged

for installer: The installer your trying to use is corrupted or damaged
                 This could be the result of a damaged disk,failed download or a virus
                 You may want to contact the author of this installer to obtain a new copy
                 It may be possible to skip this check using the /NCRC command line switch(not reccomended)

Maybe you have the handling of .zip files messed up in your config...Go and download winar at

http://www.rarlabs.com/rar/wrar371.exe

Install that, and make sure you let it handle zip files, then redownload the .zip and open it with winrar, should work.

A. You dont have proper rights maybe
B. Your downloads are getting interrupted/paused/stopped
C. You have dial up
D. You have some virus holding it up from opening up

Try downloading again using a download manager like this one http://dfast.sourceforge.net/index.html if that doesn't help then start worrying about virus infection.

And I've heard people say "I have uber-1337 firewallzorz u kant hax mai masheen!" just before getting their computer rooted and wiped.

When all else proves false, the remainder - no matter how unlikely - must be true.
