Install failure

GC2Launch.exe fails to run

July 19, 2008 9:13:43 PM from GalCiv II ForumsGalCiv II Forums

I just purchased a Game of the Year copy of GC2: Dread Lords.

When trying to install from the CD I get the message that "GC2Launch.exe has stopped working." immediately.

I tried copying to the HD as mentioned, but that makes no difference.

I'm hoping someone has an idea how I can get this to install.

I am running Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit.  I don't know that any other hardware matters since the installer is failing to even start up.

Details of the error are:

Some anti-viruses can cause problems for the launcher--you can simply go around it and run setup.exe off the disc manually.
