Hi @pbtvignesh,
Sorry to hear that you've run into this issue with your install. Would you be able to try reinstalling FME Desktop to see if that may resolve the issue? There's an article here that might be helpful for that.
I can't say I've seen that error message before, but of one very similar case in the past, reinstalling seems to have solved the issue for them, so please give that a try and let me know if it works for you.

In addition to what @jovitaatsafe said I would also recommend downloading the installer again, in case the download file has gotten corrupted somehow. It hasn't happened to me in a long time but there have been cases in the past where an installer got corrupted during the download.
