Error 13 data 13 while uncompressing explosion.mdl

from Stardock Forums
While trying to install GALCIV I got the above message. Does anyone have
any experience with this problem? Are there any clues or hints for resolving
it?
I am on Windows ME. My machine is a NetVista with an AMD 1000 mhz
processor, 128 meg ram, lots of unused hard disk, etc.
Thanks,
Jack

Doesn't work. See the thread I started titled "Message: SDS0004 - Could not
retrieve file CoreShips.SHI_ on server http://scripting.stardock.com/".

We'll have to talk to Pat on MOnday. Sorry. :( I'm only in charge of the game coding itself, not Drengin.

After resolving the sds0004 problems I had after the first instance of this
problem I am now able to run an install to this point with consistant regularity.
If anyone has a clue for where to look for the source of this problem, please
let me know. What type of problem is it? Where might there be some
debug information with more data? Is this a file problem or a registration
problem? Etc.

Thanks,
Jack

I had problems installing as well, Jack. However mine was a "Memory Could Not Be Read"-fault reported by Windows2K, which crashed the DGM.

Fortunately I was able to download the game in several bits - each time getting a little bit further. And once I had it on my machine, it acted like an angle installing. However playing is another matter ;)

I have finally gotten past this error. Please see my post in the drengin.cm news
group for observations and recommendations. I suspect this problem was the
results a file download error (sudden input cessation or bit dropout).
