I would download SSMS express again and try. It seems like download is corrupt

Good day ,
1. Can you please find the installation log file?
The error "Your SQL SERVER installation is either corrupt or has been tampered with" is probably only part of the error and we are missing the most important part. For example it might be something like these known issues:
>> "Your SQL Server installation is either corrupt or has been tampered with (Error getting instance ID from name.). Please uninstall then re-run setup to correct this problem"
>> "Your SQL Server installation is either corrupt or has been tampered with (unknown package id). Please uninstall then re-run setup to correct this problem"
In the first above sample the error was regarding the instance ID and it might be a result of using wrong format in the installation command.
2. I am guessing that you use command line or configuration file for the installation. The error might be a direct result of your configuration and not related to any corruption (this is the "has been tampered with" part in the massage :-) )
In this case, Please provide the configuration file or the command file that you are using.
