I didn't play GalCiv2 for years and so I decided to give it a try with both expansions. I installed the gold edition via CD and then downloaded the Twilight expansion via Impulse. Unfortunately Impulse didn't detect the GC2 and dark avatar installations and I found a hint that the registry data might be messed up. That was indeed the case (BTW, why wasn't it patched when it was a know problem?!?) and I made some fixes to get Impulse to find the GalCiv2 and Dark Avatar installations. I was then able to download the patches in a 12 h download marathon because of my slow internet connection.

According to Impulse, everything is fine now, but if I start TALaunch.exe and click 'Play the Game' I get the error message "Please run setup.exe from your CD or reinstall game.". If I start GC2TwilightOfTheArnor.exe the game starts but then crashes after the Stardock Logo animation.

The sheer amount of bugs I experienced hints for serious compatibilty problems. Therefore, am I correct to assume that the game isn't compatible with Windows 7 64 Bit?!
