Cabinet file corrupt error on install

gamesguy1 · 03-23-2007, 03:55 AM

Trying to install the game after download, and a few seconds into the InstallShield procedure, I get message "error 1335 - cabinet file "data1.cab" required for installation is corrupt and cannot be used". Can't bypass or ignore the error, when doing so, get "internal error 2350" and installation backs itself out. Help?

My best guess is that something happened during the download and the file is corrupt. I would try re-downloading the file and trying again.

Yes, this is exactly it.

Gentlemen, thanks. I had actually tried a couple of the different download sites yesterday with the same results, but I tried it again today and it installed correctly this time. The only difference I could record is that yesterday I was going through AOL for my download, and today I did it through Internet Explorer instead. I don't know if that's significant, but perhaps it will help anyone who encounters a similar problem. Again, my thanks, and now I can put the new version to work this weekend!
