You have to download all the assets. Make sure when you run the installer, you have Assets and Maps checked so those are downloaded.

Try using the installer available here. It sounds like you have a corrupted .pak which the new installer should pick up and offer to replace. Tell me if it fixes your issue.

Download the Assets manually: http://sourceforge.net/projects/unvanqu ... es/Assets/
Get every file except index.html and map-XXXYYY.pk3. The map's aren't required to start the game, but they are essential to playing the game. Some of the maps won't be distributed next alpha according to karnov's latest blog post so you can skip them for now until you get your game fixed.

Can you give me the error message from the installer?
