Q: Sierra stuck in "Downloaded" Status

The Sierra dmg failed with a 'invalid checksum' error. I would like to re-download the file to see if it was corrupted during the download - but the app store has the Sierra selection drop down grayed out in a "Downloaded" status.

How do I redownload the dmg file and try again?

Do you see macOS Sierra installer?
If so, move the macOS Sierra installer to the trash and try downloading it again.

I did this and restarted the system. The app store is still in a "Downloaded" status. Thanks!
