Michael Ewanits, Just to add to the other comments: Are you extracting the files from the zip file into another folder? Are you running the exe file from the unzipped folder, as an administrator?

RichU,
I am extracting the files from the zip file into another folder and yes I am running the unzipped folder as administrator.
The past 3 or 4 times I tried to install a GOTD file it would say the the file is corrupt and so I would download it again and it would say again the file is corrupt.
I have not tried to disable my security software, which is Kaspersky so I don't know if that will work or not.
I am running windows 8.1 Pro if that makes any difference.
Should I disable Kaspersky before I download or wait till I try and install it????
