Mass Effect 2 Digital Deluxe Edition - Corrupted file during install

While trying to install ME2 Digital Deluxe Edition the installer halts approximately 3/4s of the way through at the same file every time. I have downloaded the install files (all 11 gigs of them) and tried installing on two separate machines with identical results.

Specifically it is the BioD_OmgHub_220DenBar.pcc file in the dialog.rar archive that is corrupted. The installer provides no information other than a "data error" occurred but after making a copy of the install files and attempting to unpack the dialog.rar archive manually using WinRAR it is apparent that there is a cyclical redundancy checksum error (basically the checksum value does not equal the calculated value) with the "BioD_OmgHub_220DenBar.pcc" file.

I've been on phone tech support with EA several times now and after a few disconnects, muttered four letter words, and some patience finally the issue has been passed upline to some specialist to see if EA is hosting a corrupt copy of the archive on one of their download servers. This is well and good for future downloaders of the game in the southeast region of the US but doesn't exactly allow me to play the game on my only day off and I was told sometimes these issues take weeks to resolve.

I made the request that the specific file in question be provided to me so that I can replace it and recompress the archive for the installer to chew on but no promises were made.

So does anyone feel like being awesome and e-mailing me a copy of that specific file? Please not the entire RAR archive. I believe it will be located in the BioGame/CookedPC folder and it should be about 16.6 Mb in size.

Cheers,

Duncan
