I have tried to start install.exe, but only the message appeared in MS-DOS
window "This program cannot be run in DOS mode" (Strange that in DOS mode? I
also think so.)

The length of install.exe is 83 987 B.

The files I have tried to unzip were downloaded from 3 or more different
sites (FPC main site, NL, DE, JP and Sunsite in PL) - the result was always
the same. Archiver is OK, I have also tried to use Windows Commander internal
unzip and Winzip 8.0. They both signal the same - archive is corrupted.

The problem is with all ZIPs - the big one (dosw32104full.zip, length 22 930
411 B) as well as separeted ZIPs downloaded together with install.exe.
