Cannot Install VMware Tools - toolbox.cab corrupt

Fusion 8. Version 8.0.0 (2985594)

Windows 7 x64

When I try to install VMware Tools, The setup program gives me the following error:

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

I downloaded the VMFusion software, so I do  not have a CD-Rom.  I have Fusion 8 Installed and a Windows 7 Virtual Machine installed. 

Any idea how to solve this?  I found some info in the Knowledge base, but I could not figure out what I supposed to do.  Here's are two links:

Any help would be appreciated.
