    Rafael, 

    You have 2 options:

    1. Read this: Error: 'The Planet Data File Could Not Be Found, Try Reinstalling From Original Disks.'

    2. Or, delete Starry Night from your hard drive and download a NEW installer from a fast internet connection.  Then make a NEW installation of Starry Night.

    Thanks!

    My issue was the installer getting hung up while trying to enable .net 3.5 features, so do this BEFORE you run the installer.

    • Open the Start menu, type "Turn Windows features on or off", and select the top result.
    • In the window that appears, locate and check the box for .NET Framework 3.5 (includes .NET 2.0 and 3.0).

    Uninstall if you haven't yet, re-run the installer as admin.
    This fixed it for me
