I guess there is something either with my router or ISP that caused the file to be affected that prevented it from running properly. Thanks for all the suggestions.
It also could have been a firewall issue. If you have the Windows crappy Firewall active, it's entire plausible that it was blocking the installer from talking to the apple site properly.
