Eclipse installation (including Force.com)

I'm still in the initial phase, and can't get Eclipse working properly.
 
I did the full installation, according to the documentation, but half way through the installation I get this error
 
eclipse22714.tmp is not a valid JAR file (error in opening zip-file).
 
The installation terminates, and I tried it several times again, still receiving same error message.
 
Could someone help me ?
 
Thanks

What operating system, and what version of eclipse are you installing? 

Have you tried deleting the eclipse file that you downloaded and downloading the newest version from another mirror?  I had a problem when I downloaded eclipse initially and had to start over from scratch with the download.

Rather than using an Eclipse installer, you can just download a copy of Eclipse in a zip file that unpacks fully ready to go (assuming you've already installed Java).

Here are links to eclipse.org where you can download "Eclipse for Java Developers" for your OS:
