Why do you create a hybrid installer. Do you ship a 64-bit version of your
product?

I tried it just because of this error. Don't normally do that and not
it's not 64bit software.

I assume it's some kind of protection software product issue or the
downloaded file is corrupt.

Check if the code-sign certificate is valid to make sure the setup.exe is
not corrupt.

BTW, if you have not code-signed the file, create a CRC-32 for the files and
compare the values on the different machines. And sometimes, the file-size
is already an indicator for a corrupt download or transfer.

But a code-signature is the best and easiest way to check it.

Hope this helps.

I did code-sign it but the cert is missing on the test download. Hmm....

Hi Paul,

Then this machine has an incomplete download and the setup.exe is corrupted
(transmission problem).

Beyond checking the cert (which most end users won't think to do), I really
suggest you also enable the installer integrity check.
If it doesn't find its fingers and toes, the installer will refuse to run.
