----------------------------------------------------------------

There are two main reasons (ignoring caching) the MD5 could could fail:
- The file downloaded is corrupt
- The MD5 was not obtained correctly from the dist area.

Currently the code does't check that the MD5 is valid, we should check for this and continue if we don't have a valid MD5.

> If the MD5 changes for player global swc (or other download component) the installer fails to complete and will continue to do so for all user until the MD5 hash is updated. Would be better to warn user there is a difference explain the two possible reasons (i.e. bad download now possible cached in your browser cache or newer version of software available) and ask to continue.
