RockyBalboa Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 I installed the game offline. Then I got a message saying that the installation was succesful but there was one minor problem during installation and that I should look at the installation log. The problem is: Custom Action: com.sigames.InstallAnywhere.WindowsGameExplorer Status: ERROR Additional Notes: ERROR - class com.sigames.InstallAnywhere.WindowsGameExplorer NonfatalInstallException AddGameExplorerTasks() failed: Failed to retrieve GUID for application Now the game won't start, the icon doesn't work. Can anybody help me please? I already installed the patch but that doesn't matter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dj1066 Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 You need to run the game from the install location and not from the shortcut on the desktop. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Neil Brock Posted November 5, 2010 Administrators Share Posted November 5, 2010 Can be found - C: Program Files -> Sports Interactive -> FM2011 -> FM.exe Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockyBalboa Posted November 5, 2010 Author Share Posted November 5, 2010 Can be found - C: Program Files -> Sports Interactive -> FM2011 -> FM.exe That works, but when I copy that exe file to my desktop it doesn't work anymore. So I have to go to the install location everytime? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dj1066 Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 right click on the fm.exe file and select send to, then select desktop and it will send one to your desktop. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stejo Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 Make a shortcut of fm.exe to the desktop, don't copy it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockyBalboa Posted November 6, 2010 Author Share Posted November 6, 2010 Make a shortcut of fm.exe to the desktop, don't copy it. I tried, but I can't make a shortcut. There is no "send to" option either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dj1066 Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 ok make sure you right click on the letters of fm and not around it- the send to option should be just above cut in the list the opens. also what os are you running? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
