Is it just GM you cannot download and install?

Try another free software or program to check that.

If its everything, then check your pc clock/date etc is set correctly.

Also check that your user account on the pc has the access to install programs etc. You might need it to be on administrator.

Let me know how those things go...if no success have to keep trying.

Is it is new pc?

It's not the actual download, because I just re-downloaded and installed it again myself.

I have known of one other user who had what appears to be the same problem as you which was quite some time back.

My other suggestion is to try and change the location directory for it to install whilst installing.

It defaults to

c:\Galactic Magnate

But you can force it to go wherever you want it to. Maybe create a new folder to store it in first. Then when you get to screen....

"Setup will install Galactic Magnate into the following folder"
"To continue click next. If you would like to select a different folder, click browse"

So click browse find the folder you created, and set it to go there instead.

If all the basic things fail, and you've tried a reboot, and also redownload the file you might want to try a registry cleaner.

There are many registry cleaners that are free, or come with a free 30 day trial. If you choose to try that, just be sure to backup the registry via the cleaner itself. Also set a windows restore point to cover your back.


Quick question, when you removed GM before....how did you remove it? Via the uninstall, or by deleting out folders?
