Hi

I downloaded SharePoint 2013 from my subscription account on MSDN.

When i run setup.exe and get an error message

"Setup cannot continue because a required file is either corrupt or not available. Run setup again from the original source disk or download location."

I have downloaded the file twice now and i get the same error. Seems like the installation package on the site is corrupt. Is there another download location i can use to obtain the software.

Thanks,

Vinesh

Did you download an ISO and extract it?  If so, and you are installing on a virtual server, mount the ISO and run setup from there.

Yes i did extract it and copied the files to the server and ran the setup.exe from there. i will try to mount the ISO.
