Some sort of problem with your Microsoft Visual C++ runtimes, probably. Might require uninstalling them and then reinstalling them, downloading updates from Windows Update for them, any number of things really.

Thanks. I just tried all of that, with a couple of reboots thrown in for good measure. Same result. The file looks okay. I can peek inside with 7-zip. Oh well, I'll download it again just in case it got borked somehow. Thanks for the checksums MS. Grrrr...

[EDIT]

Conspiracy theory time.
Tried downloading it twice from Firefox, two different checksums. Neither worked.
Smacked self in forehead, downloaded it with IE. Worked like a charm. Scanning now.
