Reply to What would be viable copy protection? in PC Gaming Stardock Forums

Before I purchase a game I research it carefully, and then intend to play it for years. When I grow tired of it, I store it away carefully, since someday I may wish to play it again. Limited installs would interfere with that--more importantly, limited installs just wouldn't work for the kinds of games I like anyway--long, openended, heavily modable. The Sims and The Sims 2 were just such games, and Spore looked to be that type of game also. I find it hard to believe

Thank you for your help--fortunately I had already fiddled about with it until I finally figured it out and got it to work--don't ask me how, me getting anything to work on a computer is at least partially a matter of sheer dumb luck and a lot of poking at it until something happens. Thank you again--I lurk a lot on the forums of the games I play, trying to learn how to manage my games--I don't especially miss board games but they were a lot easier play.

setup.exe in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

OK, seriously computer ignorant old woman here. I bought Galatic Civitions II Gold Edition, which includes Dark Avatar, from Amazon. I installed it and played it, worked fine. Then I came here, registered it and updated it--now when I try to start the game, it tells me to run setup.exe on the disc or reinstall from Stardock--can't find setup.exe don't understand why I should reinstall from Stardock.
