Got an error dialog when trying to install MikTex 2.9.

The operation could not be completed because the following file failed verification:
C:\Users\arthur\Documents\miktex\pgf.tar.lzma

System in Windows 7.
Tried 64 then 32 bit installer, same result.

Confirmed. Only possibility is to install MiKTeX via the Basic installer whilst this problem is sorted out.

I have a private repository that I sync with rsync every 2 days. Corrupted from 27/5/2011 evening, Australia Eastern Standard Time (GMT +10)

Looks like the checksums are corrupt.

Quick fix: went to a repository that is not as updated (e.g. http://ctan.elena.aut.ac.nz/systems/win32/miktex/tm/packages/ -- for others see http://miktex.org/pkg/Repositories.aspx) and download pgf.tar.lzma again, save to your own hard disk. Works beautifully afterwards.
