The Nullsoft Scriptable Install System (NSIS) has failed for some reason.

I would recommend deleting the current downloaded rainmeter.

Clear your browser cache.

Run from an administrator cmd window:
sfc /scannow

Wait for that to finish, there should be no errors.

Scan for viruses or malware.

Then download rainmeter from the official site: https://www.rainmeter.net/ and try the installer again.

The entire rainmeter installation folder is about 6 MB.

Hope this helps...

I suggested deleting the downloaded file, but I would recommend doing a clean uninstall by following these steps: https://docs.rainmeter.net/tips/clean-rainmeter-uninstall/
