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 It means the installer data was somehow modified and is no longer valid.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:
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).
