I just ordered and downloaded the SoaSE expansion (Entrenchment) and can't play a damn thing!

from Stardock Forums

I paid my ten bucks today (2/16/09) to play the Entrenchment expansion and now nothing works. 1) How do I at least get my original Sins to work 2) How do I get the Entrenchment expansion to work 3) not being able to get 1 or 2, how do I get my money back?

I have read that this is a common problem, did these people work on Vista by chance?

Hello,

You may need to manually remove the game folder, and delete 2 Registry Keys then try a re-install.

Go to C:\Program Files\Stardock Games\Sins of a Solar Empire (or where ever you installed the game) and delete the main folder.

Then launch the System Registry (Start-> run, and type regedit)
Look for and delete the following Keys;

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Stardock\Drengin.net\sins
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Stardock\Drengin.net\sinsentrench

For Vista 64 bit;
HKLM>SOFTWARE>Wow6432Node>Stardock>Drengin.net>sins
HKLM>SOFTWARE>Wow6432Node>Stardock>Drengin.net>sinsentrench

Then, reboot your PC and go back to Impulse and try installing the base game. Make sure it installs to 1.13 version, test it out before then installing entrenchment.

No you didn't. You downloaded a buggy beta version. Entrenchment hasn't been released yet.
