Did you download version 4.19 or 4.25? What is the full name of the file you downloaded?

Cheers,
Gary.

The full name should be Boinc_4.25_windows_intelx86.exe. I just grabbed a copy and it says it is File Version: 10.1.0.238 and it is 9344Kb.

Have you tried to check the MD5 checksum. The value it should be is on the download site. What did you use to download it?

Cheers,
Gary.
