every time i try to open my file it states “the setup files are corrupted. please obtain a new copy of the program.” even though i have installed it twice i cant get it to work.
Did you get Audacity from this page?

Audacity is pretty popular and there are copycat installers out there which either don’t install right, or install bogus versions of the program.
