Check the size of your .exe file. If it's only a few kilobytes in size, rather then about 1.8 megabytes you've downloaded the sf.net download page instead of the binary.

As detailed on the download page, just in case you missed it:
"Please don't use a downloadmanager to download our releases and additional data files because the links below are not direct links, but links to a page that asks you to select a mirror."

If the filesize does appear to be correct, redownload it and try installing again, your download must have gotten corrupted.
