Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit (Student Offer - .exe file)

I purchased and downloaded the above. The first time it did not download the "setup1.box" and "setup2.box" files, so I had to do a fresh download. Well, now the second time I downloaded I get the following error (which I also received when trying to run the .exe without the .box files):

Now I tried to run the .exe from the desktop where it downloaded to, from My Documents folder, and from the Users/username/ folder but still received the error. I tried to go to properties and select "Unblock" for all of them but none of the files had it. I tried running the .exe as administrator and in compatibility for Windows XP SP2. Is there anything else I can try without having to wait 3 hours to re-download everything for a third time?

Thanks.

Where are you downloading it from?

tbh the best way to install Windows 7 would be to get an ISO then burn it onto DVD.

This is a common error with the win741 offer from Digital River. My friend encountered this the other day, and after a little bit of googling he found a fix. I believe Microsoft has addressed the issue, so you might want to head there and check it out.
