Answer : Winzip Self-Extractor, header corrupt Possible cause: bad disk or file transfer error. ...

Hi,
Maybe your winzip self extracting setup file is corrupt. Please download again from net.
If most programs do this, some three possibilities exist:
1. You may have bad sectors on your hard disk (if you install your programs from a hard disk), please execute scandisk.
2. You may have a virus infection. Please check all your hard drive (and the drive with your setup programs) with an updated antivirus program.
3. You may have a RAM problem. Please change the slot of your RAM, if you have multiple RAM chips, try one at a time. Or try another RAM chip borrowed from a friend. Make sure that your CPU settings in BIOS are correct.
Please write the results...
