Installed game, but keeps asking me to install it

July 30, 2008 3:37:00 PM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums

I installed the game on my computer.  Immediately after installing it, I ran the program, but soon afterwards, I closed it.  Since then, any time I try to start the program, it brings up the screen that asks me to install the game.  I am unable to install it, as it is already on my computer.  I uninstalled and then reinstalled the program and the same thing is going on.

Impulse indicates that the game is on my computer.  I registered the product and downloaded the latest patch.  Same issue persists. 

Any suggestions?

It sounds like a registry issue is confusing the launcher; if that's the case, you should be able to just run the game without it by updating your shortcut to point at PolMachine2008.exe rather than PM2008_Launcher.exe.
