Recently I downloaded a freeware program from the original software website and I noticed the following error message while trying to install the program – “Setup Files Are Corrupted – Please Obtain a New Copy of the Program” – this error was quite strange as I never saw this type of error in windows.
After searching about this problem I came to know some solutions for this problem and some of them worked for me, today I will share these solutions which helped me to get away from this error in windows.
Re Download The Program From Other Location or Website
This could be some times because of the setup file you have downloaded does not seem to be verified to run in windows or they might be actually corrupted because of the server from which you downloaded these files, so if you download the same program from some other location or website or in some other form this will work for you in most of the cases.
Clean Up Temporary Files in Windows and Re Run The Setup File
As reported by some users, they were able to fix this by cleaning the temporary files in windows. You can do this simply by using windows temporary files cleaning programs and once you delete the temporary files you can try running the setup file again after restarting your computer, it should run fine without any issue this time if the setup files are not actually corrupted.
Conclusion
The above methods suggested has been helpful to solve the issue for most of the users, but if you still have any issues please let us know through the comment section at the end of this post. If none of the above steps worked for you, you can also try doing a system restore which may eventually fix this problem for you.
