Cause
This error is usually because the file you have downloaded (zipped/compressed file) has been "blocked" by Windows because it came from the internet.
This is a common issue for people downloading files from the Internet. (Note: this could apply to any downloaded zipped/compressed file containing executable code)
Resolution
The downloaded file must be "unblocked" before unzipping it to the desired ETL installation folder.
To unblock it, access the zipped/compressed file's properties (e.g., right-click and select Properties) and then press the Unblock button.
Then press the OK button. Delete the original ETL installation folder and unzip the file to a folder as before.
