I have a msi package which I have uploaded to my ftp.I ahve created a link to the ftp. When I click the ftp link automatically it will show the "File Download" dialog box with "Run, Save, Close" buttons. If I click Run button automatically it starts downloading.but below error massage it is displaying.

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

In Internet Explorer 7 it is working fine. but in IE6 the above error is displaying while downloading.
 
It sounds like the MSI file is corrupt once you've downloaded it. You could compare the MD5 hash of each download file to see if they are different:

It's probably just a local thing, so you could try running CCleaner to clean your system cache and then re-try the download.
