Hi, I just purchased SoSE through SDC with tokens in order to play the beta, however when I try to install the game i encounter an Installation Failed error stating:

C:/Program Files/Stardock/TotalGaming/Sins of a Solar Empire/ activate.exe 0 | 0 Access is Denied. | 10/25/2007

Has anyone encountered this error or know how to fix it?

Never incounterd this but have you tried uninstalling/reinstalling, somtimes that fixes instalation errors, also mak sure you don't have any backround programs running. Good luck, your in for a terrific experience.

If you feel like playing online PM me.

If you're running Vista, try running Stardock Central as Administrator. We're looking into it from our end also but haven't been able to reproduce it yet.

I am running Vista, and running SDC as Administrator worked like a charm, thanks for your help Yarlen!

No problem. I ran into the same issue with the last Twilight update.
