My guess would be with the version of SDC.
To anyone else experiencing this kind of problem, the newest version will always be here: http://sdc.stardock.com/sdcentral_setup.exe, which is currently build 160
Determine the build you're running by going to Help->About SDC.

I am running SDC build 160 and spent 3 hours on Tuesday downloading windowblind 6 - I kept a watch on it periodically through the afternoon. I had checked on it when it was at 85% .
I returned thinking all I had to do was reboot and I have " INSTALLATION FAILED " message across SDC.
So now what ? It takes a long time for me to download from WC and to lose everything after 3 1/2 hours at 85 % is frustrating.
