How are you downloading the installer, are you using the web installer or the CD Image. We have seen problems like this with the web installer and normally just downloading the full iso version (Manual Download Method for Install) the problem stops. Also if you do down load the iso version you do not have to register the products.
Thats what I was doing. I was installing Visual Studio free version and got error 2098 saying file was corrupt. I have tried downloading several times and same problem.
You cann't install Visual Studio with your corrupted installation file, so, download Visual Studio Express, it's free to download and free to registeration.
error 2098
