Are you trying to run the installation at the moment of download?
If you are, try to download the installer first, then install it.

And else right-click on the download link and define Save as..., then save to a different location (different directory or drive). Cleaning out your temporary internet files is also a good way of getting rid of problems like this.

The download for the Windows version 6.10.18 fails using IE8 or Firefox on my Windows XP box. However, I was able to download the Windows version using Firefox on my linux box and run the installer.
