Wow. It's a good thing I haven't downloaded Broken Steel yet. Fallout 3 players are reporting installation issues with the latest DLC from Bethesda. It's like The Pitt all over again, only this time it's for the PC version.

The problem reportedly occurs while installing the DLC after downloading it from the Windows Live Marketplace. The installation supposedly stops and spits out the error message, "Not a cryptographic message or the cryptographic message is not formatted correctly. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8009200D)".

Bethesda is aware of the issue, which it has labeled as a "Games for Windows Live DRM Install error". Microsoft is apparently working on a fix.
