Can't Install Late Night due to "Error: Data Error (Cyclic redundancy check)"

[jonratch]

Briefly, whenever I try to install my copy of "Late Night: Expansion Pack", I continually come across a frequent problem at the point where at any given point ((It reads (Most frequently) "File E:\Bin\Gameplay\GameplayData.package", and a line below that, no matter what other file the game had trouble Intalling (The file is not always the same), it reads "Error: Data Error (Cyclic redundacy check)") a pop-up appears and stops the installation.

The options "Retry" and "Cancel" are it. "Retry" allows a few more files try to download before the one with the problem comes back up and it reads the same message all over again in the same pop-up. Needless to say, "Retry" has thus far proven a fruitless if not deceptive option. "Cancel" is equal to pressing the "X" button in the top right-corner of the box during installation; it stops the download completely.

I've gotten to the very end of the Installation and it always requires just one error to make the whole process null and void.

I have tried to be all inclusive of the problem's details. Should any further details be needed, I will be checking back regularly. After all, I really, really very much want that piano.
