Dear Hartmut
I had yesterday a broken (automatic) update and today morning again.....I thought it was a download problem and didn't had a closer look. Today I found the temp file intact from the download yesterday and assumed according the log file, that the program is using the defect download.
BUT: after deleting the the temp directory and a fresh download the log shows the same Validation error
