Installation package could not be opened.
OS: Windows 8
Initial download and install of Windows 8 version went without a problem.
Each time I started the sw, my system froze. After a reboot, same thing.
Tried to uninstall, resulting in "This installation package could not be opened.Contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer package."

I hope it will be useful. It also tries to download and install again
So you never managed to successfully run and use the MuseScore software on your Windows 8 computer?
Could you verify if you are on a 32 or 64 bit Windows version?

PC info confirms 64-bit.

Try a different browser and download it again.
Get you a * .msi file or * .man?
Just an idea from this conversation: https://musescore.org/en/node/65561
("The workaround for now is to rename the .man file to .msi")

You don't.
You run MuseScore.exe found in the bin folder
