Hi there, hmm..the only time I've seen this has been when the .msi files have become corrupted. The correct length of the MSI file is 1677824 bytes. If your copy differs in length, definitely try to re-fetch the file. If not, try re-fetching too! :-) In the event the MSI file doesn't outwardly appear corrupted, could you make your copy available/ e-mail it to me, so that I can have a closer look at it? thanks, --sigbjorn ----- Original Message ----- From: "jasa" <jasa@dalton.inesc.pt> To: <hugs-bugs@haskell.org> Sent: Thursday, December 27, 2001 09:53 Subject: Problem with installer under Windows 98 SE

Hi,

Thank you for providing the Haskell (Hugs) interpreter. I have the windows installer 'installed' in my machine. I tried to install the 'hugs98-Dec2001.msi' package, and windows returned me a nag window saying:

'It wasn't possible to open this installation package. Contact the provider of the package to see if it is a valid package,...'

Has anyone already reported the problem until now?

Note that, for instance, I installed the ActivePerl msi package without problems.

Thanks in advance, Best Regards, and a Happy New Year!
