I'm trying to install a couple very large programs. But everytime it fails
and I recieve an error to the effect that the windows installer is corrupt.
I've re-downloaded the files several times, re-did everything several times
and am beginning to pull out what little hair I have left.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, I don't want to be bald.
