I'm struggling to get IWD2 to run, I'm getting the following box appear:
"Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item."
The game is installed at D:\GOG\Icewind Dale 2\IWD2.exe.
I'm running Windows 10 Pro.
I downloaded the game direct from my GOG library to the downloads folder and got that box pop up and it wouldn't install - I checked permissions and they were all ok, tried running as administrator, and tried compatibility mode for Windows XP Service Pack 3, Windows 7 and Windows 8.1, still no luck and still getting the same box. So I downloaded the GOG Galaxy installer and re-downloaded and installed IWD2 from there to the path mentioned above. I can run the configuration program, but when I try launching IWD2 I still get that same error box (I again also tried various compatibility modes).
Any ideas please? As never had this problem before.
Cheers
