Demo worked

Just an update from my original problem. Now that the demo is released, I uninstalled the beta and installed the demo. Ran perfectly with absolutely no issues, and no manipulation of files on my part.

*Edit* I did not undo the DEP entry I had for the EXE. It seems to have been removed during the uninstall. So, at least on my system and issue stated previously, the demo ran flawlessly right "out of the box".
 
Every get an answer?

Vista Premium 32 here. Downloaded last night to check it out. First install this morning using advanced, game wouldn't launch (get initial loading "logo" --East India Comany, Fight, Manage, Rule! Build your own trading comany-- and then application has stopped working error). Also noticed that there were no menu/shortcut icons installed anywhere, so figured install was borked.

Uninstall and reinstall, this time with simple method. Game launches automatically after install just fine, but as I had little time left, I closed it and went my merry way figuring all was good. Later found again no shortcuts installed and when trying to run the exe, get the "Application has stopped working".

So, uninstall again, install with simple method and when it goes to auto-launch, application has stopped working. Found this thread and checked for log.html, and it doesn't exist. Since I know Vista can be finicky about programs writing to their install directory, I checked documents and found EIC folder there, no log.html. Tried to run the exe in compatibility mode, compatibility mode with admin rights, and with admin rights, and still nothing.

Did anyone ever get an answer to this that worked?
 
cant install patches,

1.) when i try to install full game the setup apears and disapears, i think its because if doesnt ask for admin acess, dont know why
