So, I'm having a major problem getting this game to install to a new computer. Every time I attempt to install the game, I receive a message saying the following:

"We were unable to download necessary installation files due to the following error:

Downloading timed out.

This may be due to temporary network problems or a more serious error. You may try again later or we can display a web page that provides alternative installation options. Would you like to view the web page?"

Every time I go to the "web page" in question, I am met with the following message:

"This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below.

AccessDenied
Access Denied
"

The "error" in question is with the downloading of "java.zip", which I can only presume is being attempted from a defunct website link. Since the web installer is apparently the only means through which a person can install this game, am I correct in believing that I will not be able to install & play this game on my laptop? I don't even have access to an "older installation" of the game from which I can just copy and paste all of the necessary game files.

EDIT 01: I had someone else confirm for me on an older Windows installation. The installer that's available from the main site hangs whenever it gets to "Downloading java.zip", and then crashes. Unless there is a full installation package available anywhere else online, this game will no longer be able to be installed properly on any computer anywhere at all.

EDIT 02: The game has now been installed, although I had to do so through the Steam client. I am sorry to say, the standalone installer available on this website is no longer functioning properly, and needs to be fixed before it can be used by anyone again.
