Hello,

I had the same problem but the solution was much simpler. There are two
links on the page
http://cars9.uchicago.edu/ifeffit/download.html
The Sourceforge-link:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/ifeffit/ifeffit-1.2.8.exe?download
results in a file of only about 25MB and the second link:
http://cars9.uchicago.edu/ifeffit/src/ifeffit-1.2.8.exe
results in a valid file.

HTH,
Gerrit
