The fact that the same file worked on a number of other PCs tells us it's
not corrupted. Also, the zip archive contains *exactly* the same files as
the installer - they're archives as part of the same build process.
The error message you quoted is one that almost always means that the
runtimes are not correctly installed (or the version of them is incorrect).
I don't know precisely what you did, but I'm sure that somewhere along the
line the runtimes were installed properly.
