Are you sure it is being downloaded in BINARY mode, and if copied from
one system to another that was done in BINARY mode too?

                                                            Every (try
to) installation struggle's with the same error:
I rephrase the error message in detail:
"---------------------------
NSIS Error
---------------------------
The installer you are trying to use is corrupted or incomplete.
This could be the result of a damaged disk, a 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 RECOMMENDED).

I really wonder what is going on. I could install the same version on my
old win32 system which is running Win XP Pro SP1.

Michel

Hello,

When trying to install ethereal i get the following NSIS message: The
installer you try to use might be corrupt or incomplete.

I try to install it on my XP Pro SP2 (64- bit) . Is the failure due
to the 64 bit Operating System? And how can I find a workaround?

No, it's exactly as it told you: the installer is corrupt. Try to
download it again.
