When I try to install as soon as I pick English for the language I get the following errer message:

"This installation package could not be opened.Verify that the package exists and you can access it,or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer package."

You have to extract your files from the archive before running the installation.

You HM's files are generally compressed in a *.zip or *.rar archive. Extract those files from the archive in a normal folder.

Use Winrar if you don't know how to do it manually: http://www.rarsoft.com/

Go to Program Files and delete the postgreSQL folder. Reboot your PC and retry.
