Application installer file is damaged help!

Hi, I am trying to run the adobe installer but I get this error, "The application cannot be installed because the installer file is damanged." I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling again but nothing works. Please help. I am on a Mac and running OS X 10.8.

I have the same issue.
The file is 2.4MB
I have tried downloading it with Chrome and Firefox. I have emptied my cache and deleted history so that I get a new copy of the file.
Here is the where: http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=designweb_premium
I am trying to install design and web premium CS6. I have a key and want the product, so I thought I could download the trial version and hopefully insert the key there. We paid for the upgrade when we bought CS5.5 and now want to move to the new version.
The error message specifically says that the installer is corrupt and to try downloading it again.
I have a screen shot.
I have checked and Gatekeeper is already off.

Hi Kashmore,
Seems like the downloaded file was corrupt that could be because of either network restriction or the anti virus might have blocked it. My suggestion would be to try and download the product either by turning off the Antivirus or try a different network.

Muse Installer file is damaged?

I was prompted to update Muse when launching and after I did so it said the installer file was damaged. I have un-installed and re-installed and the application manager says that Muse is installed but is nowhere to be found on my harddrive.
I found another post in here that give a link for a new installer (muse 2-2 install mac.dmg) but now I am back to the beginning ... "installer file damaged"
(working on a Mac)
Any help would be great at this point.

Here are two links that Adobe gave me.
Basically it is suggested if you are a creative cloud user to uninstall everything and reinstall.
Link 1:
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-creative-cloud-installation-download .html#removing_creative_cloud and redownload the program again?
If that doesn't work then follow:

Will let people know if this works for me (fingers crossed)

Adobe ROME installer file is damaged

I am interested in using ROME after trying the web version, but I can get the AIR app to install.
when I run the file I just get this error:
Sorry, an error has occurred.
The application could not be installed because the installer file is damaged.
Try obtaining a new installer file from the application author.
tried downloading from different browsers but still the same problem.
also tried downloading the latest AIR runtime, but no luck.
I am using Windows 7 32 bit

I have the same problem..
I'm also using Windows 7 32-bit..
Here's the screenshot:

How do I fix error message "installer file is damaged"?

I have tried to download an application that uses Abode AIR. I always receive the same error message "Sorry, an error has occurred. The application could not be installed because the installer file is damaged. Try obtaining a new installer file from the application author." I have installed, uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe AIR and keep getting the same error message. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

This usually indicates that the certificate used to sign the AIR install has expired. Based on an archived discussion on this topic, you can search for SignatureTimeStamp in the signatures.xml file in the META-INF folder and, if it is not found, then the install has no signature time stamp and will not install after the certificate expires.
I'm having the same problem, but searching for SignatureTimeStamp is found. The search returns the following:
<xades:SignatureTimeStamp>
So, it would appear that there is a Time Stamp for the Signature in my case so the install should not fail. I would first check the above. Since you cannot install the app, you can try to open up the installation file with the .air extension as a zip file and drill down until you find META-INF and then drill down to find signatures.xml. Search for SignatureTimeStamp and see if it is found.
In the meantime, I was wondering if anyone else in this forum can explain why the install fails for me even though I can locate <xades: SignatureTimeStamp> in the signatures.xml file in the AIR install file.

Installer file is damaged

I can't install the .AIR file created by my Flex Builder 3 (SDK 3.5 with AIR SDK 2.5).
I compiled my Air project, executed without any trouble (also in debug mode) but when trying to install on my pc (Windows XP) I get this error message from AIR installer:
The application could not be installed because the installer file is damaged. Try obtaining a new installer file from the application author
Viewing air logs I've found the following lines:

My PC has AIR runtime version 2.5, but previously AIR 2 beta2 was installed... then removed.
I tried to clean registry entries and to reinstall AIR 2.5 but with no luck.
Installation on a "clean" pc which had no AIR beta version has been successful.
Thanks for suggestions...

But your log says:

Are you sure the AIR file has the right namespace? Could you unzip the AIR file and open the application.xml inside to make sure?

Re-installation of Met Office Desktop Widget fails with the "installation file is damaged" message

However many times I re download the widget app I get the same result.
The reason for the download was that the previous installation started to behave strangely downloading a lot of stuff for no apparent reason. I have Kaspersky Internet Security which is up to date and Advanced System Care. None of my security programs report any malware.
Re-installation of windows is out of the question!!!
I have tried everything on the forum with no sucess - any help gratefully recieved. Thanks

I have EXACTLY the same issue, had issues with downloading excessive data. Uninstalled latest version of widget and latest version of Adobe Air. The I reinstalled them fresh...or tried too. The Met Office Widget failed exactly as yours did. My log looks like yours.
I contacted the Met Office and got this response:
Thank you for your email.
There is a known issue at this time with the Met Office Desktop Widget which is currently under investigation by our IT Team.
We hope to have this resolved shortly and we apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused you.
We just might have to wait they have no date for a fix yet!

I have another application developed in Flex Builder 3 and a release build with the same installer has no problem.
I appreciate you reading this and trying to help me

Try to download that again or disable the antivirus while downloading and after that enable it. Further try to run it in administrator mode if possible.

Latest Kuler installer file is damaged

I just uninstalled, AIR B2, Flex B2, and Kuler, and installed
Flex B3, AIR B3, and am trying to install the latest Kuler for AIR
B3. The file I am downloading is:
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/kuler/kuler_desktop_121207.air
When I try to install it, AIR throws this error: "Sorry an
error has occurred. The application could not be installed because
the AIR file is damaged. Try obtaining a new AIR file from the
application author."
Am I doing something wrong, or is this just a bad install
file?

The file posted on labs is working great.
I tried the link on kuler.adobe.com and it does not work.
The file downloads and then unzips itself leaving a kuler folder
with all the files inside (swf, icons, etc). So I guess it's just
not packaged up correctly. If it helps to know I did notice that
there were 30 errors opening the kuler web site in the activity
console. They are all the same thing and read:
(generated by JavaScript) Unsupported URL
They appear just below the link
kuler.adobe.com/kuler/scripts/swfaddress.html in the activity
list.

Installation Files Cannot acces Help!

Greeting everyone!
I have one pretty big problem with my Nokia X6
Facts:
1. I have the latest firmware
2. I don't want to do hard reset.
3. My nokia is bought brand new
So, I have an app called "TouchRemote" and I wanted to set it to use default connection everytime it tries to connect.
I went to "Installation Files" on my nokia, but nothing appears!
When I click it just shows black screen for like 3-4 seconds, and then just closes and goes back to last menu.
Can anyone help me?

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Sorry, but from what you say, I cannot tell if you went through ALL that is in this KB...there is more than just the certificates to consider:
KB28396 When installing the BlackBerry Desktop software the following error is received "The installation files cannot be validated. Please verify the installer package and try again."
Hopefully it contains something useful!

How is it possible that RIM can't make a installer package that simply works out of the box. It is shameful that users should go through the trouble of all these additional steps, which in the end still don't work...
Actually, most of the causes in that KB have nothing to do with anything under RIMs control...the PC is an "open system", allowing users and other apps to cause interference to other things. But, that is outside of what RIM can control with their installer package. This is, notably, in contrast to how other platforms work...for instance, the Apple platform is a "closed system" where (for the most part) neither apps nor users can do things that are outside of certain boundaries. It's just not that way with the PC...likely never will be. But the "fault" (if such is needed) lies not with RIM...rather, with MicroSoft for having such an "open system".
Good luck and let us know!
