Node.js installation error

I tried to install node.js on a Windows 8 machine, but I got the following error:

The cabinet file 'media1.cab' required for this installation is corrupt and cannot be used. This could indicate a network error, an error reading from the the CD-ROM, or a problem with this package.

I downloaded the installation file from the node.js website at http://nodejs.org/download/.

How I can solve this problem.

My system specifications are OS : Windows8 32bit, RAM : 4GB, CPU : Intel Pentium P6200, 2.13Gz, Dual Core

I was experiencing the same error message trying to install on Windows 7.

I was able to fix this issue and successfully install by:
changing the directory for installation.

Instead of installing within my "Program Files (X86)" folder, I installed into my "Program Files" folder

My suggestion is to try installing to a different directory as this solved the problem for me.

For anyone stumbling here, my problem (on win 7) was I accidentally downloaded the 32-bit version by mistake. Getting the 64-bit version was the solution.
