Yes get the program called strip
http://www.unna.org/unna/windows/strip.exe and give that a try. Put it
in a folder by itself then drag and drop a COPY of your package you are
having trouble with and then see if you can install this copy. It may
work. Though I have never had a issue with Ed's packages like this.
How are you downloading them? You might try a different browser and see
if that helps the situation if strip does not work.
