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.
