Cannot Open - says Installer is corrupted?

I downloaded openoffice 2.3.1 - I clicked on .exe to verify the installer and to open software. It gave me a prompt that said the installer I was trying to use was corrupted or incomplete.
I downloaded this from the openoffice.or site - what is wrong with this thing.
Please help....
Thanks!

Check the md5sum of the installer downloaded, it may be corrupted. See here :
http://download.openoffice.org/2.3.1/md5sums.html, there is a link to the instructions on top of that page.
Thanks to add '[Solved]' in your

Hey thanks Hagar de l'Est -
I just uninstalled it and re downloaded it.....Now it brings up the prompt to choose where to save it - but it won't highlight the UNPACK button....
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Save what? The installer? Save it and run it, no?

What "unpack" button... where do you see that? I would think that any "unpacking" (I've got to assume you're running a Mac since that's a Mac term) would have to come only after you save the file, right? The file needs a place to call home before it can extract (or unpack) anything.
