Are you getting the error when you try and extract it, or when you run the installer itself?
The download might have been corrupted, I'd try downloading it again.

From a Google Search pertaining to other software, but it may apply to you.

QuoteIf you're experiencing problems downloading updates (getting the message: this file contains invalid data), then the likely culprit is Internet Explorer 7 (Note: this does sometimes affect other versions and other browsers too).

The problem appears to be with Internet Explorer caching downloaded files, and is especially problematic in IE7.

To eliminate the problem:

    * start Internet Explorer
    * choose Tools..Internet Options
    * click the "delete..." button
    * click "Delete files..." to delete the temporary internet files stored by Internet Explorer
    * Restart Internet Explorer

This solution also helps correct slow Outlook and Microsoft Office, and may help other applications regain their responsiveness.

Downloads do occasionally get corrupted and you have to download them again.  It's happened to me more than once.
