If a downloaded file: the file may be corrupt (either at the source or it
corrupted during transmission). Or it may not be the write setup file for
the operating system. Download a fresh copy and try again. If problem
persists, contact source to notify them of the problem.

If a commercial CD: while rare there have been bad "presses" of program CDs
in the past. More often the CD or CDrom drive are in need of a cleaning. If
CD is damaged, contact program vendor for information about obtaining a
replacement.
