I have never downloaded BRAVE on this installation before.

Are you using Win 11 in “S mode?”

Click the link and you will know how to download properly.

What do you mean by S mode?

S-mode is a setting in windows 10 and 11 that keeps you “safe” by dis-allowing non microsoft programs from being installed. You might have this problem installing brave in s mode because brave is not a microsoft product. The solution is to disable s-mode in window’s settings before attempting to install brave.
