Answer: With EndNote 8 and later, this.Data folder contains the library data structure, and should not be deleted. If you remove the.Data folder, the EndNote program will attempt to rebuild the.Data folder contents based on the information in the.enl library file. However, you will lose any customized term lists. To recover your corrupted files using Recoverit Data Recovery, follow the step-by-step guide below. For Mac users, please turn to this page to get the solution: Recover Deleted Files on Mac. Specify a location; Recoverit will list all detected devices on your computer.
Endnote Corrupt Installation Detected
While EndNote does not recommend saving EndNote libraries onto Cloud-based storage systems (i..e, Tufts Box, DropBox, Google Drive), it can be done by following the steps below:
- In your EndNote library, go to File > Compressed Library (.enlx)...
- Select Create and select whether you want to include attachments. Select All References in Library. Give the file a name and save it on your desktop.
Go onto Box and upload the saved .enlx file. Then download the .enlx file from Box onto your desktop, EndNote will automatically open the library up.
Don't try to upload the .enl file and the .data folder associated with your library, as the library will become corrupted.
Corrupt Installation Detected Endnotes
**Important note regarding EndNote versions x9.3 and higher**
Compressed libraries created with EndNote version x9.3 and higher can only be opened with EndNote version x9.3 and higher. To share libraries created with EndNote version x9.3 and higher with others who use lower versions of EndNote, follow the instructions below for 'Sharing with Other EndNote Users.'

Just got this used computer last week. Downloaded four programs. Click to install or Start / Run and get this message -- 'Corrupt Installation Detected.' OR it will say something like 'Could not initialize installation. File size expected=1972043840, size returned=1542480. The parameter is incorrect. Corrupt installation detected.' For each application that I downloaded, it will say that same 'File size expected=1972043840, size returned=??? and the first number, 1972043840, is always the same but the 'returned' number is the file size downloaded, I guess.
Other weirdness...
One of the programs, I have the floppy for the previous version. I went to install it and get 'Corrupt Installation Detected.' This same error occurred on my laptop.
All of the above also happened on my laptop. I assumed it was my laptop being weird.
The file size that I see on the website I am downloading from... I just downloaded one again because I assumed this problem is because the whole file did NOT transfer.... I downloaded again. It said the file would be 1.47MB and when I downloaded, it appears to be there since it shows 1.5MB downloaded. I downloaded first in IE and second time, in Opera.
Someone said something about a virus and pointed me to two sites that do virus scans online. Neither of them worked; it crapped out before completing the scan.
Bottom line... when I download something... it appears to download fine. No errors. And then 'Corrupt Installation Detected' when I try to install.
