It says "Installer integrity check has failed". I downloaded it twice so it's not a problem on my side.

Works just fine when I tried it. Got the Voxel SourceForge.net mirror. This issue is usually caused by network connection issues. Please try again or try switching mirrors on SourceForge.net. If you find a specific mirror has a bad copy, please let us know in the forums. For other download issues, please post in the forums.

I found out that if I try to install it from within the platform (i.e. "Options->Install a new app" it will give error. However, if I run in independently it will work fine.

That works just fine with the PA.c Platform 1.5.2 as well. It's definitely something on your side. I'd check your drive for errors and try installing on another PC or another drive. Stuff like this is usually an indication of a drive dying. It starts to randomly produce errors on reading here and there, which, if it happens with an installer, will cause the CRC check to fail.
