File is Corrupt

from Elemental Forums

I just downloaded FE from the Stardock site and when I went to open it to install it told me the file was corrupt. I tried several times to no avail, even going back to the stardock site and re-downloading it. Anyone have any thoughts if its me or something in the system?

others have had issues using a particular browser, but changed to a different browser and were able to download (both firefox AN IE were reported to be the troublesome browsers)

hope this helps

I used chrome, I'll try safari I suppose if the other two are also troublesome. Thanks!

Actually using Safari worked perfectly, don't know why Chrome was being such a pain, it normally is a way better choice. Thanks Harpo! and thanks lilB for the offer!

I tried downloading the file from Firefox, IE and Safari and got the same error message each time. Then I ran the file as Administrator and it worked.

It turns out when I was downloading it from Chrome it was only getting half of the data. When I used safari it downloaded the whole file. Don't know why, but the Chrome file was 1.4 gigs or so while the Safari was the full 2.something gigs. Wish I knew the reason.
