I have downloaded the VS 2008 Pro trial version and I'm having problems
installing it.Visual Studio installs OK but when I install the MSDN Library
for VS2008 it stops with an error message
"Error 1330: A file that is required cannot be installed because the cabinet
file d:\msdn\cab13.cab has an invalid digital signature. This may indicate
that the cabinet file is corrupt".
I have downloaded the file twice but I'm still getting the same error.
Please help

Anyway--after cab18.cab and cab23.cab had invalid digital signatures in my
first download, I tried downloading the ISO image again; but this time,
cab13.cab and cab15.cab were bad. Then I realized that I could now piece
together a working image from the two downloads. (Luckily, the corrupted
cabs in the two downloads were different from each other.)
Specifically, I used Daemon Tools to mount, in turn, each ISO image
(cancelling Setup when it attempted its Autorun), and copied the files from
each ISO image to a separate folder on the hard disk. Then, I just replaced
the cab files that had bad/invalid signatures in one folder with the good cab
files from the other folder, and vice versa. (Note: this would also work
using the XP Virtual CD-ROM Control Panel.)
The result was that I had two good (working) sets of files, albeit from two
bad ISO images. Setup ran from the repaired set of files successfully.
I guess that, with VS2008, we get the same "quality" of installations
that we did with SQL 2005 and VS2005 :(
I meet this problem too.
I think there must be something wrong with microsoft's download
server , or why many people face the same problem?
