The error occurred when running the Spotify installer

The Spotify installer has become corrupted whilst downloading. A fresh installer file is needed. First, delete the installer file that you have downloaded. Then, since your web browser may have cached the download, so it is best to either:

  1. clear your web browser’s cache before downloading again.
    You can find instructions for this here ( external website: wikihow.com ).
  2. or use a different web browser for the download

Now download a fresh installer file from the Spotify website.

If this error has occurred after installation, a full re-installation of Spotify is recommended. You can find instructions for this here.
