In the end, I let it do an install overnight. From what I could tell few (if any) files were actually d'loaded but the process labeled "confirming existing files" or something like that took at least 2+ hours.
The game seems to be okay, the saves all seem intact ... but now the blasted game (which is in its 9th year of the war in Aug '48) surges to 100% CPU usage at the end of a day & basically hangs there until it finally crashes. The rollover from one day to the next had been getting slower & slower in my last couple of sessions, I'm going to try again but release control of U.S. forces back to them (I'm playing as U.K.) in hopes that might help (I only assumed control of them a few game days ago).
I don't think the two problems are necessarily related, but it's danged frustrating.
