The Tcl packages are not necessary; BeOpen comes with its own Tcl
libraries.

I recommend to uninstall any copies of Python and Tcl that you may
have on your system. Then, you should remove all registry key in
Software\Python, and start all over.

If it actually says that the installer is corrupted, please don't
forget to include the exact URL of the file that you've downloaded,
and the md5sum or atleast the size of the file, so others can get a
clue whether download failed.

Even if it would work, don't use that version.

Are you sure you've enabled binary mode inside ftp? (hint: what else
could I guess out of the blue sky)
