Hello,
I ran CB2007 Update3, but it got so far and I got a popup saying "Extraction 
of installation data downloaded from the web has failed.  What would you 
like to do?"  The choices were download again, or try extracting again, but 
whatever I did, it didn't work.  I seemed to be stuck.  I tried canceling 
altogether and re-installing, but I got the same errors.

It finally got past the one file it was stuck on, now it seems to be getting 
stuck over and over, so I'm sitting here, clicking "download a fresh copy" 
over and over.   That does't seem quite right....

   Make sure that you tell it to download the files into an empty 
directory. If you tell it to download the files to a directory which had 
the old setup files then it reacts the way you describe.

Something about closing barn doors after the horses have left comes to mind. 
That's exactly what I had done, because it asked me for the location of the 
files, not for an empty directory.

On the plus side, it seems that insane patience pays off.  It eventually 
made it through and installed.
