Hey folks --
I just purchased the game and am trying to install it on a Windows 64bit machine. I get the following error message:

The version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you're running. Check your computer's system information to see whether you need an x86 (32bit) or x64 (64bit) version of the program, and then contact the software publisher.

Please help! Thanks!

This error occurs when I double-click the executable to install the game.

I am using Windows 7 Professional 64 bit and the game installed and works flawlessly. The problem must be lying somewhere else. Maybe the download file got corrupted? But i am just guessing here.

The game and installer are 32 bit applications, but W7-64 should be able to run both without any issues. Given the number of copies in the wild now, it seems unlikely that there are any general compatibility issues.

Have you tried running the installer in XP compatibility mode, and in Administrator mode (although generally installers will require that anyway).

If that doesn't work, please can you post your machine specs to see if there is anything which stands out.

Cheers

Yes, I too have installed it just now in a Windows 7 x64 Professional and no problem.
Normally that kind of message means that the file is corrupted.
I suggest that you try to download again.

I'm now convinced it's corrupted. It was the file that was linked by Plimus when I purchased the game. I've tried the compatibility mode and have the same issue. I also tried installing this on another machine with Windows 7 64bit and got the same error message. Here are my specs:

Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit)
AMD Phenom 965 3.4G
4 Gigs Ram
Geforce 460 1024MG

Absolutely no problem with your specs.
Just download it again. Something went wrong probably during download.

I have just about the exact same setup except I have two 460's running in SLI. Game has installed and played with no problems. You may be right and the file is corrupted. I would re-download, as VPaulus has suggested, and try again.

Hey Looks like third times a charm. Looks like the installer is working now. Thanks all for the help!
