There's a way to check whether your download is corrupted or if the problem lies somewhere else.

-[URL=http://koti.mbnet.fi/~fury/misc/md5/md5.exe]Download md5.exe[/URL]
-Copy md5.exe to same folder where you have downloaded R2 installer.
-Open command prompt (Start > Run and type cmd)
-Move to the directory where md5.exe and R2 installer are. (for example: cd C:\Downloads)
-Type md5 filename (filename of the file you have problems with, for example: md5 TBP-Full-2_0.exe)
-This prints md5 checksum, see if it matches to checksum below:

code:

EAA13B30A2AD43E812D19ED13492F09D tbp-full-2_0.exe
0E7297EF3CFAF1389FF99ACADFEB3780 tbp-core-2_0.exe
BCAD06741B00C9E56A42036789913D29 tbp-music-2_0.exe
1B883325711CD7462607C6EA6C14F549 tbp-anims-2_0.exe


-If it does not match, then your download is definitely corrupted.

R2 installer is able to check it's own integrity when you launch it. Integrity check is "crc" so it is not as good as "md5" but does the job well.

You probably did the same thing I did

Don't right click on the links and choose save as. Your browser may say those links go directly to the executables, but they don't. Click on them directly to get the files, or go to the other links given on the page.
