I got that error too but it went away after downloading the patch again. Make sure you clean your internet temporary files so that you are actually downloading the file again and not just calling the same one from memory. Also make sure you save the file instead of opening it from location (I do this plenty cause I have a cable connection, I don't know if you do).

The point is that there's nothing wrong with the files but they're getting corrupt along the way of getting to your pc.

If you are useing IE , then Tools - Internet options - General Tab -
Then half way down that window is your temp Internet control. The middle button will delete the temp files.

You could also search your drive for Temp internet folder.

Look for a button in the tools or option settings that has a clear cache or something.

You could also look for files around the size of the zip and in a temp or cache subfolder.
