Reinstall - Characters2.pbo not working.

(I did do a forum & google search, but I could not find anything - so sorry if there is something I have missed).

Hello,

I just uninstalled Arma 2 today, to try and fix a problem with TS linked to Arma2, people say that install and doing another action fix it.

Now I am trying to re-install the game and it gets "13 bars in", and stops with this error message:

File copy error (CRC does not match).

C:\Program files\Bohemia Interactive\Arma 2\Add ons\Characters2.pbo

After the first attempt (with the error message coming up) I decided to delete the BI folder on my computer (and purge it) - all that was in there were mod folders, and ironically an add on folder.

Thank you in advance for any help.
