If Size is different -> sorry but -- your security suite Antivirus.program screwed
it
Do it again with Antivirus deactivated.
Do you have a security suite-program other than the windows in-built (NORTON,
AVAST, etc.) ?
If yes you have to change it settings during installation AND for downloading.
Under FAQS I have written a how-to for NORTON (4th entry from above).
Might give you an idea how to do it with your own secutity program.
DO IT !

-- copy and past the two files to C:/programs(x86)//Microsoft Games/Freelancer/EXE
--- if you are asked "overwrite existing files" : ALLOW IT to do so
and from now on, when opening the "Freelancer Crossfire" icon on the desktop ...
do it (always) as administrator
