Read the answer here: https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/307156-why-do-i-receive-the-error-winzip-self-extractor-header-corrupt-when-trying-to-run-the-matlab-inst and also read the comments. This seems to be some problem related to Winzip. A simple google search shows that other installers suffer from this error too, so this is not a MATLAB specific problem: https://www.google.com/search?q=winzip+self+extractor+header+corrupt&oq=winzip+self+extractor+header+corrupt
