Python Download - file corrupted?

Question

Hi so im building a script which downloads a.exe file via urllib. Sadly,the downloaded file, when executed, shows an error prompt by windows, the file would be damaged or corrupted and cannot be executed.

My script:

url = 'https://anonfiles.com/51l035B5x5/npp.8.1.9.3.Installer.x64_exe'

f = urllib.request.urlopen(url)
file = f.read()
f.close()
f2 = open('npp.exe', 'wb')
f2.write(file)
f2.close()

how to proceed so the file is working when downloaded?

Answer 1

Try downloading it like this instead:

import urllib.request
urllib.request.urlretrieve("https://anonfiles.com/51l035B5x5/npp.8.1.9.3.Installer.x64_exe", "npp.exe")

If that doesn't work, the executable might be broken itself.
