download program did not install

I tried to download/install a game from realarcade today. When the installer
program was running I got a message that an error occured. I tried to
redownload the game and this time I got a windows message that files were
corrupted, try again. I also got a dialog box saying the program might not
have installed properly or I could check it had installed properly. I
clicked cancel but immediately another box appeAred as if it were trying to
install. I hit cancel.

My question, where does all the files/programing reside after I hit cancel.
Can any of it be left over and be in an incomplete state and mess up
anything else? I looked in programs to see if it could be uninstalled but it
was not in that list.

Use a system restore point back to just before you tried the installation.

I download installers to the desktop or other place where I know I won't
lose track of it and install from there. I just feel like I know what's
going on better. And I always set a new restore point just in case the
installer doesn't (supposed to).

carl,
You might need to remove all former traces. See following:

Revo Uninstaller helps you to uninstall and remove unwanted programs installed on your computer even if you have problems uninstalling and cannot uninstall them from "Windows Add or Remove Programs" control panel applet.
