I'm afraid I can't duplicate this issue with my system. Are you using 0980e? What Windows version is it? The need of downloading again the installer is completely nonsensical to me. If the installer you have from a previous download doesn't work, I can think right now of few reasons, first one that involve damaged files is a hard disk issue, and I'd check for errors with some disk tool. Second one, a rootkit virus.
Maybe because you're using only the 0980e patch, not the main 0980 space engine installer. Download SpaceEngine executable installer from the download webpage, install it, then you can apply the patch, as described in that page.
