Sounds like a failed installation. Try to reinstall the game and hope it works. With bad luck it might be the download/DVD that's corrupt.

Don't know what else to tell you but to return the game and try to get a replacement.

Yeah, sounds like a corrupt DVD to me too in that case.

Re: Data file too short addons\characters.pbo
Congratulations!
Coming to think of it I had installation errors as well, but that was failure to accept my CD key. I solved it by copy-pasting the content of the DVD to HDD and installing it from there. Worked like a charm 
Probably my DVD player that's getting old and worn out

Re: Data file too short addons\characters.pbo
there is sometimes some compatabily problems with older DVD drives, so that could have been a problem, but glad you got it sorted out!
