Installer file corrupt

I am trying to download an new copy of PortableApps and I am getting this error message when I try to install.
The Signature of PortableApps.com-Platform-Setup-12.0.5.paf.exe is corrupt or invalid.

Incomplete Download or Local Infection

If you're downloading it directly from our /download page (which links to SourceForge) that means you either are getting an incomplete download or you have a local virus that is infecting the file once it is downloaded. All PortableApps.com Format installers have a self-check to see if they have been modified after we distribute them. If it fails, you get that error.

If the download was interrupted, it could be an issue with your ISP or a software firewall on your PC. Some of them break downloads of files. If it's a local infection, scan and run antivirus, etc. All the usual applies.

Sometimes, we can have a corrupted file on one of the SourceForge download mirrors, but as the last platform version has been up for 5 months, that's unlikely. We'd have gotten a ton of notes about it.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
