This error is the result of either Windows restricting access to a file downloaded from the Internet or a zip file that contains unexpected path separators. In case number one, go to the properties of the file and select Unblock. Your group policies may need to be adjusted for you to see this button. In case number two, the path separators may start with a leading backslash. If this is the case, download WinRAR and use the Extract without confirmation option to unpack the contents of the zip file.

Another workaround is to delete the alternate NTFS data streams using Sysinternals Streams utility - “streams -d”. Apparently, if you download the file using Internet Explorer, it saves the Internet zone from which the file originated in the alternate NTFS data stream. You can get the utility at http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/utilities/Streams.mspx.
