DW Downloadable I/O error

Hello, I am new here and I am turning to this forum for help with a problem with Dangerous Waters after lack of helpful communication from Strategy First:

After playing the demo for several months, and noticing that DW was on sale for $15, I decided to purchase the download version. The first file downloaded just fine, and when I used it to download the setup executable, it went flawlessly, albeit very slowly. Upon completion of the download I activated the setup.exe and got about 52-54% through the install when it informed me that an I/O error had occured, that an unnamed file had been corrupted, and that further progress on the installation was impossible. Several re-downloads of the setup.exe did nothing to solve the problem. I promptly contacted Strategy First, to whom I was referred via the website, and kept up an e-mail correspondence with them over the next few days. It has been 5 days since their last e-mail and they still have not solved my problem. I get the feeling I should have been more patient and bought the boxed version.

Has anyone else had this problem, or was I just cheated out of 15 bucks?

Thanks in advance.
