I got exactly the same error msg when trying to install under XP (32bit).
Tried both v. 5.0, v.6.0 and the Win tools. Same error every time.

I had downloaded from the Norwegian mirror site. Then I downloaded the 6.0 version from a
UK site, and the installation went OK. Seems to be some kind of error in the install files
on some morror sites....

Yes Stein is right, most mirrors have files that don't install correctly, also those files
have wrond MD5 signature, so now I'm up and running except for the ODBC wich I need
badly.
When I install ( the one I found who have the correct MD5 ) all seem OK no error but when
I go to the ODBC Manager I can see only the MSSQL driver installed !
Any suggestion, thanks a lot.

64-bit windows runs 64-bit ODBC Admin by default. In order to add or edit a 32-bit Data
Source Name you have to run 32-bit ODBC Administrator odbcad32.exe from WINDOWS\SYSWOW64
directory that contains 32-bit DDLs.

Thanks a Lot.

All working fine ;)

Hello,

I have exactly the same problem when trying to install:
- 5119 server and also
- odbc3.51.16 

Tried this on a windowsXP 32 bit machine

Please have it fixed soon!!

Solution: 
 Download from Denmark :D

For some servers the md5 for mysql-essential-5.0.41-win32.msi is: 
  cb320c2c96168efeeddb181f58a6b6e9
but supposed to be
  2f93e1bdd43d21e529257d803bd92eae

I am sure that this issue is only corrupted MSI files on some mirrors. Heanet in Ireland
has a corrupted version if I remember correctly.

i downloaded two installation archives:
 1. mysql-essential-5.0.41-win32.msi
 2. mysql-noinstall-5.0.41-win32.zip

The first of them (the *.msi one) has exactly the same problem with message about
product.cab file.
The second (*.zip noinstall) report a problem in archive during it testing. Although,
during extracting files from zip archive i received two error messages:
    - error unpacking mysqlcheck.exe
    - error unpacking mysql-debug.pdb
    
My platform is win 2003 sp2 and win xp sp2

Hi all,
it seems that the following mirror is having bad file

United Kingdom [The UK Mirror Service / Canterbury, Kent] HTTP FTP 

please use other UK server.

Thanks and Regards,

Hello,

I noticed that some people are referring to a "corrupt file / mirror". This is nonsence.

I noticed the problem on mysql5119 and odbc316. I think the problem does affect other
mysql files as wel.

So, it can not be related to a corrupt file.

Louis

MySQL Tools: mysql-gui-tools-5.0-r12-win32.msi, Error 1335 'product.cab', Win32 XP-SP2

Attachment: mysqlTools5err1335.jpg (image/pjpeg, text), 36.43 KiB.

I had the same problem with the "corrupt product.cab" message displaying during
installation.  I'm using WinXP SP2 and attempting to install MySQL GUI Tools 5.0-r12.  As
suggested in a previous comment, downloading the MSI installer from the Denmark mirror
instead of my default Canada mirror fixed the problem and the installation completed
successfully.

The Hungarian mirror is also wrong. Danish mirror contains a valid file.

Same issue:

Running XP Pro SP2 and I tried a couple of the Canadian missors and received the error.

Downloaded from the Denmark mirror and the isntallation worked.

Why do we have so many mirrors having wrong version? It is better to have a 
right version even though old one.

我就不翻译了。。。直接的说是安装包的问题。。

到Mysql 官方去下载吧。。重新下载个安装包问题解决。。。

顺便丢个下载地址
