This post describes how to fix the error:

A file that is required cannot be installed because the cabinet file has an invalid digital signature. This may indicate that the cabinet file is corrupt.

Cause

This can occur when certificates from the cabinet file's digital signature certificate trust chain are missing and cannot be validated.  This can happen when you're running an installer in an environment that's not connected to the Internet and is therefore unable to update the trusted certificate authorities automatically.

Resolution

Right click the cabinet file, go to the Digital Signatures tab, press Details, then View Certificate and check the Certification Path.  This shows the certificates required to complete the trust chain.

Next, download and install any certificates that are missing from the trust chain.
