How was the file invalid, exactly?

just tried the apache site given in the URL - it serves the .msi file as
application/octet-stream, and so mozilla saves it as .mis.exe, and of course
when you try and open that, windows says it's invalid. therefore, this is a
duplicate of bug 120327.

reporter - if my assumptions are incorrect, please comment again to correct me.
thanks.
