Installation package could not be opened
I have recently installed a new motherboard & I am in the process of reinstalling all the progams again. I am receiving the following message when I try to install most programs (Itunes & Winzip are 2 in particular) from downloads.
"This installation package could not be opened. Verify that the package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer Package"
I have tried downloading from alternative sites or earlier versions of the programs with no success
I have spent the last 4 hours searching for a solution including turning off virus protection, firewall, changing user account controls.
In searching for a solution this seems to be a very common problem with no one solution to fix all.
I had the same problen with adobe reader & was able to locate the same download on another drive and it installed fine.
It seems that this may be related to a reinstall of Windows as this problem did not occur in the original install of windows
I hope someone may be able to help as I have several other programs to install
