This problem was in one of the first builds of the current version that we corrected since then.

Was I meant to download the "Starter" version of Hikashop that's available on the website?

Thanks Nathan")* Which version of HikaShop do you have ? 1.5.3 or 1.5.4 ? We published yesterday a new version which should definitely fix that problem so you might want to try again with it. It's indeed the download link in the "your orders" menu of our website.
