Hello again,
I just tried the latest 1.7.9-1 setup.exe (although it appears to be the same
version used for 1.7.8-1) and get the same results for a clean (new empty
folder) download-only operation.
Is it safe to ignore these errors in the setup log?
These look to me like they could be indicating a download issue.
Unfortunately, the message doesn't provide allot of insight into the
particular package 'setup.exe' thinks is incomplete/invalid. I'd
recommend removing your download directory and trying again. If the
problem persists, try multiple mirrors 1 at a time, removing the download
directory with each attempt. If it still occurs, you may need to
investigate if you have a proxy that's cached some bad data. You
should be able to rule that in or out by removing the download
directory again and picking a mirror that you've never tried before.
