    I downloaded it from the atomic gamer link
    Using Chrome
    Yes the sizes are right
    The installer auto runs with admin rights, RTW is installed on external hard drive
    Disabling avast makes no difference

    Thanks for answering my questions, I think the location is the problem.
    Try copying the RTW folder to a natural HD and install EB on top of that copied build.

    I still get the same issue when i moved all the files from the hard drive to the desktop and reinstalling EB1.1 again.
    Perhaps i'll try a completely clean install of RTW, and redownload the files from another source, unless you have any other ideas?

    A clean installation is a good thought, from which source did you download the installer? If possible, try torrent, this will give you a 100% clean file. Here is another source.

    This is so strange, fresh install, redownloaded patches, and EB1.1, still the same error at the same place. I'm considering trying it on the university computers, or through virtual box

    This is indeed strange, in other, similar cases, the location was the problem.
    There are still some other things to try:
    - disable UAC and any protection software during the installation
    - install RTW to a safe place (e.g. c:\RTW)
    - move the installer to an 'unprotected' directory (e.g. C:\..)
    - download the installer with another browser
    - use an extraction software to get the files manually (if you do, post here again for further guide on how to if you didn't use that kind oft software before)

    Hope this helps you,
