Symptoms:

• Error: 'Internal Error 1335: data.cab is corrupt'.
• Microsoft Windows Installer returns error: "Internal error 1335".

The Microsoft Windows installer could also be corrupt and need to be uninstalled/reinstalled.  Corruption of the Microsoft Installer can be attributed to such factors as:

• Your computer's registry becomes corrupted.
• You or someone else inadvertently changes a registry setting used by the Windows Installer, resulting in a problem.
• The installation of a program that uses Windows Installer (for example, Security Reporting Center) is interrupted.
• There are multiple instances of Setup running simultaneously, or an instance of Setup is "blocked."

To correct this issue, we recommend re-downloading Security Reporting Center 2.1 and re-installing.

Before re-installing, please follow these steps:
