Why do I have problems downloading any programs in windows xp now since I never had any problems before?

I keep trying to download programs and when it's done downloading the run box comes up and when I click run I always get 1 or 2 different error messages. Either NSIS Error or . Exe is not a valid Win 32 application.

I try numerous times and I keep having the same problem over and over again. I've never had a problem downloading programs before and don't understand why I am now. Asked by indemnity 39 months ago Similar questions: problems downloading programs windows xp Computers > Internet.

Installer integrity check has failed. Common causes include incomplete download and damaged media. NSIS (Nullsoft Scriptable Install System) is a professional open source system to create Windows installers.

NSIS developed the "envelope" that contains the software you are attempting to install, not the software itself. This allows any software developer to use NSIS to ease the process of installing software. NSIS Error Messages:- Installer integrity check has failed.

Common causes includeincomplete download and damaged media. - 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.

How to fix the problem? * If the software was obtained from the Internet:- Clear your browser's cache. - Disable any download accelerators or managers and download the installer again.

- Rename the installer so it is a simple one-word name with no special characters (without removing the . Exe suffix) Example: install. Exe - Download the installer from another source approved by the software developer or publisher.(It might be corrupted on the server, or the connection to the server is unreliable from your location.)- Update your anti-virus software (if installed) and download the installer again.

- Disable your anti-virus software and download the installer again. - Download the installer using another computer and copy it to the original computer. - If you have the nVidia firewall installed, uninstall the program and download the installer again.

- Scan for, and remove malware and viruses on your system. - Scan the hard drive using scandisk, chkdsk, or any other hard drive repair tool. * If the software was obtained from a CD, DVD, or other physical media:If you are receiving this problem from an installer located on a disc or other media besides the Internet, then the problem may be due to a hardware failure or more likely the physical media being damaged.

Try reading files from other parts of the media. If you are receiving read errors with other files on the disc, then the problem is likely due to damaged media. You will need to contact the source of the physical media for a replacement.

*-* Why do you get NSIS Error? The NSIS error message box basically means that the setup executable (.exe) or installer user is trying to run is corrupted, or incomplete. However, often it’s not the actual cause.

One possible candidate is Windows Firewall which exists in Windows XP and later operating system such as Windows 2003, 2008 and Windows Vista. The solution is to disable the Windows Firewall and run the installer again. Other reported problem maker that trigger NSIS Error include integrated nVidia NIC (network interface card) that includes a firewall.

In this case, user have to change the network adapter to one without firewall or switch to wireless network temporarily to get the installer installed, as disabling the network card will still cause NSIS Error. http://www.tipandtrick.net/2008/nsis-error-and-cannot-or-unable-to-open-and-install-setup-installer/ Sources: http://nsis.sourceforge.net/NSIS_Error .
