Sins is installing on C:\

and in C:\Program Files (x86), WTF?

February 1, 2009 1:17 PM from

I've got a strange problem, i buyed Sins and Entrenchment 2 days ago through Impulse and it created one installation in C:\Program Files (x86) but creates some files too directly on drive C:\.

So i have a 'Galaxy, Mesh, Particle, etcpp...'-folder on C:\ too and even a 'Sins of a Solar Empire.exe' and 'SDActivate.exe' and some other files. This isn't strange enough? For example in the Galaxy-folder there are only two files (Derelict.galaxy, Melting Point.galaxy) instead of ~57 files like in the C:\Program Files (x86)\Stardock Games\Sins of a Solar Empire -folder.

Please tell me why sins is creating these files and how to fix it? I uninstalled Sins and Impulse, but after reinstallation the files reappeared.

Hmm..

Set the install path manually by clicking the Orb in the upper left, Preferences | Folders
