Problems with Demos

To Buy, or not to buy... Let me try it first

from Stardock Forums

Hello.

Question:   Is there a way to see more demos listed in MyGames for download?

When I am Exploring the impulse site there are quite a game descriptions that say they have a downloadable demo.  There is a link in the small description box.

I have tried to download several of these demos (I am looking for just the right RPGs) and install them.   The program will install, but then the installer gives me an error and can't continue.

However, demos that are listed on the MyGames page inside Impulse do install after I download them....

Is there anyway to have these game demos included in the list so that I might try them?   I am reluctant to purchase a game for $49 when I can't even download and install the demo....

It is unclear to me where the problem might be. 

My OS is Windows 7.

Thank you in advance for any help you might give me.

No, I don't think so. It seems that all the demos that Impulse can install for you were custom made for Impulse. Atleast thats my theory, otherwise I would think there would be a lot more demos available now (and maybe be given their own section).

Currently, the process of adding new games to Impulse is not automatic. The automation is still under development, but what has been developed allows them to add stuff or make other updates quicker than they used to.
