Okay. I accidentally deleted FH without properly uninstalling, but I ran the uninstaller and it worked. All FH files have been destroyed. When I run the setup, however...

Setup files are corrupted. Please obtain a new copy of the program.

I'm very frustrated right now. Why - just why is this happening?

Note: I discovered several FHSetup.exe files on my laptop.

EDIT: I deleted the extra .exe files, it didn't work.

Your internet connection was probably not strong enough and you had package loss throughout the download, torrents check all the packages and make sure nothing is missing before telling you the download is complete, compared to a regular download that does nothing of such. Downloading things with the regular download if your internet connection is not that stable could cause issues like these ones.

The download provided is not broken at all, it's the very same tons of users download each day.
That bein' quoted, try obtainin' the game through the Torrent download. The only sidetrack is ye'll need uTorrent in order to open the torrent files but the download to the program is free 'n safe to use. Most users who face this problem seem to get the game download workin' again by downloadin' the Torrent.

Thank you. I'll try deleting the existing installer and downloading one again, and then I'll try that.

EDIT: OH YES IT WORKS thanks anyway!  ;D
