Marekski: Hi all,

Firstly, apologies if this has been covered. I've had a search and couldn't find this issue.

I recently signed up without knowing you get a bunch of awesome games, for free!

Annoyingly, whenever I try installing games using the GOG exe file that get's downloaded, it always stops at some point with the error code in the title.
It's always the same error code, but the filename quoted on the error is always different.

After trying many times, I did eventually manage to get Steel Sky installed, but after trying a LOT, I can't get Teen Agent or Lure to install.

I've tried downloading the exe files both with and without the GOG downloader.
I've also tried turning off my antivirus (BullGuard).
Neither of these seem to make a difference.

Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

Marekski: Looks like changing directory AND turning off the antivirus seems to work.
It was originally putting things in the c:\program files (x86)\gog folder

Is this a common issue? Is there anything that GOG can do to avoid it? Like not default to Program Files at least?

Wishbone: I don't think it's common. At least I can't recall seeing anyone here with the same problem before (which is not to say it didn't happen).

And the problem with defaulting somewhere else is that there isn't really anywhere else. Most people install everything to the Program Files folder, because that's where Windows likes things to be installed, and so it's the default install path in nearly every installer for any kind of program. I like to install my games to C:\Games, but someone else might not want to install there, so using that as a default path is a bad idea. As long as people have the option to change the path in the installer, I'd say the current default path is the best solution all around.

Marekski: Thanks for your help!
