VMware Windows 7 32bit downloading .exe from web issue

Hey Guys,

I have been having an interesting issue I just can seem to solve.

So, I retired my xp 32bit VM and wanted to create a 32bit windows 7 VM to take its place.

Oddly enough no matter if I load from a clean snapshot or preform a clean installation the problem comes back.

The network is running in bridged mode as are all my other VM's and I have no issues with them.

Windows 7 is fully updated.

Now what happens is when I try to download any kind of installation for an application. like let’s say bit defender or ccleaner.

Firefox gives me a Gah your tab just crashed, but it still downloads the .exe

Internet explorer the download will fail but if I keep hitting retry sometimes it downloads.

not matter what browser I use to download a .exe I end up getting a NSIS error

installer integrity check has failed. Common causes included incomplete download and damaged media. Contact the installer’s author to obtain a new copy.

Any idea as to what this can be. Windows 7 issue or bad update patch? An issue with VMware.

I have a windows 7 64bit os and windows 10 64bit and don’t have this issue.

By all means ask me for any other information that I can provided that may help with troubleshooting.
