I just received this e-mail response from NI:
Interesting issue Richard,
It looks like the problem is a particular cabinet file was corrupted. My guess is this happened when you downloaded it, but it also might happen if you unzipped it to a network drive.
This problem is why we normally have two different downloads for software, an "NI Download manager" and a standard FTP one. Unfortunately, our beta installers are only available through our FTP server - so if there is any kind of network interruption during the download, some packets may get dropped.
I'd recommend downloading the installer again and using the new one (be sure the overwrite option is checked when extracting the archive).
Let me know if you have any more trouble with it... and thanks for participating in the beta!
Have a nice week,
