Cant play Vengenance ?

[Ragnarok]

So, how i do about installing Vengeance ? I have all AI War installed via steam, bought Vengeance, downloaded and run in the installer. But when i try to launch Vengeance, i get a runtime error.

afterwards, the folder i installed Vengeance into only shows the uninstaller, but not the actual aiwar.exe as referenced in the screenshot.

Ah, it looks like it tried to install Vengeance somewhere other than your steam install   So when running the vengeance installer you'd need to target the actual steam install.  My guess is that you'll find it here:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\AI War Fleet Command\"

Though obviously it could be somewhere else for you.

I see. I can fix that, though I'm wondering why the installer would not auto-choose the correct folder. It should be able to locate it by probing the registry.
thanks

Our general policy is to pretend the registry does not exist   That's why AIW can run off a jump drive if you really wanted it to, etc.

I'm not sure if the BitRock installer builder we use for these has an option for registry queries to populate the destination field.  Anyway, I think the general idea behind the standalone installers is that they're probably being used by someone with a standalone copy of the game (in which case the auto-selected path there would generally be correct), and that someone wanting to install an expansion for a steam copy would be getting it through steam (and thus not need the installer at all).  There are always exceptions, of course
