Usually install files have self-checking thingies that allow them to verify that the install file isn't corrupt. One of the ways it does that is to compare the file size that the installer expects to be (that is, what the file size was when the installer was compiled) and what the file size actually is on your computer. If they are different that probably means that there was an error in downloading.
I suspect you will have to download the installer again. Sorry, hope u have broadband. <!--emo&:(--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':('><!--endemo-->

You're missing 512 bytes.
Quite unlucky <!--emo&:(--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':('><!--endemo-->

same problem for me... ######!
then what i did was reinstall before uninstalling. now after that the game still acted the same way. so i uninstalled only to find that it still shows up as a program in my control panel. and no matter how many times i remove it, it still shows up. so theres the second problem, to get if off when i uninstall it.
