data2.cab failure

So I just got Fallout 3 from Gamestop, a download purchase. It had it's own downloader and when I go to run Fallout3.exe it starts up and starts extracting. At the very end I get this:

This is what it looks like before I start .exe:

Here is what it looks like when it is extracting:

I have no clue what to do. I've tried running as administrator and a couple other things I've found on the internet, but nothings worked.

I've also redownloaded it with nothing else running in the background. The download wasn't through an internet page also.

So what exactly do you expect anyone here to do about it? You need to contact Gamestop and deal with them about it.

Well I figured someone else might have heard about it, while I'm waiting for Gamestop. At the least could direct me to a helpful location, instead of getting a snippy question.

There's nothing anyone can do about a corrupt file, that's an issue that Gamestop has to deal with. There's no magic bullet that's going to be able to fix it, the installer says flat out the file is screwed.
