Windows 7 - Failed to Unpack Files

I'm trying to install the game on a (fully Updated Windows 7 Home Premium) new machine.

I am using the latest installer (seriously, I just downloaded the msi file today).

I can install the game just fine, but upon loading it for the first time, I continue to get a "failed to unpack files!" error every time. I have uninstalled the game and restarted my computer several times.

1.) I have uninstalled the game by going to programs and features and clicking uninstall.
2.) I have uninstalled the game by going to the AppData folder and remove all the relevant folders.

It still comes up with the same error "failed to unpack files!" every time.

What can I do to get this working?

Never seen this before. Have you checked that your system's hardware specifications meet the recommended hardware specifications for the software?
