Installing Sql Server 2005 Trial Software From Microsoft Website - Self Extracting Executable

Hello,

I'm trying to install sql server 2005 Trial software from the self-installing executable (X86 Executable) as I wait for my copy of the full version of SQL Server 2005.
Steps:
Click the X86 Executable link
When prompted, click Run SqlEval.exe.
After that is finished I (Excuse me if I don't have to exact terminology down) I clicked O.K. and the software evaluated the .exe and then prompted me to click the finish button. As soon as I clicked finish an error saying the file was corrupted halted everything.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Matt

The most likely answer is just what's reported: the file was corrupted, presumably during the download process. Download again, and I bet it will work.
