As a last resort, the installer can be executed even though it's corrupted. To bypass the corruption test, pass ''/NCRC'' on the command line. To do so, go to ''Start->Run'', type ''cmd'' and hit ''Enter''. A black console window should open. Drag the installer into the window, hit ''Space'' and type ''/NCRC''. Hit ''Enter'' again and the installer should start. This is '''not recommended'''!

A NSIS Error message box means the installer you're trying to run is corrupted. It means the installer data was somehow modified and is no longer valid. The error states: 

Installer integrity check has failed. Common causes include
incomplete download and damaged media. Contact the
installer's author to obtain a new copy.

More information at:

In versions prior to 2.35, the error states: 

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.

You may want to contact the author of this installer to obtain a new copy.

It may be possible to skip this check using the /NCRC command line switch
(NOT RECOMMENDED).
