Something went wrong with the download operation. The expected checksum 
(6622...) is the correct one. Turn off all file monitoring applications 
(that is: virus scanners, firewalls, windows defender, ...) and try 
again. You can try yo download the cab file manually a few times in 
order to see if a third party (e.g., a company firewall) is involved.
