Hello All

I have downloaded Raspian Wheezy from the Rpi website as well as OpenElec and when I try unzip the Img ZIP file, it says they are corrupt

Any ideas??
 
The obvious first guess would be to try and re-download them? I have found that archives can easily corrupt during download.

You're not supposed to unzip the .img files. Use the tool for Windows they made or dd for Linux to write them to an SD card. Even if you could get the individual files out of the img file and copy them to the SD card, it won't boot.
