One quick piece of advice: reboot.
Windows does a lot of file caching in its memory. If a corrupt file gets cached the problem may persist.
It blows my mind how much the Redmond-based operating systems love to be rebooted.
Did you per chance check the digital signature of the downloaded file?

OKay, I just tested it on windows. I get the same dates so thats okay.
Try this; reboot. Then click start and type %appdata% and press enter. SHould open C:\Users\yourname\AppData\Roaming in file explorer.
rename bitcoin folder into something else. Try launching bitcoin again. Be patient.

hmm That is strange, i got the file from the sourceforge page.
Where did you download it from? Something odd with the date of that exe. Its a year old?
