Having trouble with installation
OK, so I'm using the Setup for PR, but when I go to install it, it's telling me a source file is corrupted, and if I choose to ignore that, it tells me another one is corrupted. I looked at the location of where the file should be, but it's not there. I don't see how it could be corrupted if it's not there. What can I do to fix this?

It's probably cause your setup iso is corrupted. i suggest re-downloading it.

What is your source of the download .iso ?
Torrent?
direct http download?
Desura?
etc?

Re: Having trouble with installation
I used the download from Moddb, more specifically the one that was hosted on Gamefront, I believe it was. And I didn't use Desura, so I'm guessing that might be why I'm having problems?

Re: Having trouble with installation
Let's quickly check the integrity of your downloaded .iso before we have you spend hours redownloading,
Download HashCalc from the link below,
install it, open it, use it to check the integrity of the .iso you downloaded,
it will create the unique hash of the file on your PC,
check that hash against the official hashes in the quote below:

If you'd like to manually test "prbf2_1.0.29.0_full.iso" for authenticity, it's SHA1 hash should be dad424af07024ddb8944731a6b01fcfad824cd38, or MD5 64230b50da98c11c5750543646239839.
"\mods\pr\content\objects_common_client.zip" should have a SHA1 of dc27afa322716a5e7b551efaca02bff6a6d20368, or MD5 e4b22b21c5c8457a0a10e65a6fa45884.

You could use a program like HashCalc to test those files. I'll take a good while to calculate large files like the installer .iso, but if the result it produces matches what I wrote above, then you can be assured the file isn't corrupt.
