InstallAnywhere Error - Installer Error
I've got this problem trying to install the game, everytime I try InstallAnywhere doesn't work
saying "Unable to execute the desired program. Please get another copy of the installer and try again".

I've tried downloading again the game in another disk and the error still shows up.

Please help :(

I'm not using InstallAnywhere, so it might be a different issue but I got this error message too. It took some time looking for a fix, but couldn't find anything that helped me. I figure it probably has something to do with the paths of documents and temp folders on your Windows account. I did some customizing with the User folder placement because of my smallish OS SSD drive.

Anyway, I solved it by creating a new account (with Admin rights) on my pc, fire up steam from the new account and the installer finally did what it had to do. It's installing at this very moment.

Hope this helps you too.

Still poor coding, a lot of people seem to have this issue.
