This only applies to Windows Vista/Windows 7 machines.

If your game is crashing after the intro, or there are any other problems, the first thing you should do is uninstall the game, and then reinstall it by right-clicking the installer and selecting "Run as Administrator". This is required for most Vista/7 systems.

My bad, this post was about the installation.

This applies only when You leave default instalation path (Program Files). Other, non system directory, will work fine regardless of Administrator's rights for instalation.

Fishman: This apply only when You leave default instalation path (Program Files). Other, non system directory, will work fine regardless of Administrator's rights for instalation.
Installing into the Program Files directory is stupid. It causes permissions issues which can be bypassed by installing anywhere else.
There is a reason why google chrome installs itself into appdata (lowest security zone on MS, allowing it to self update without user confirmation and bypassing many "protections"). And chrome is not any "weaker" for it, in fact it has the best security of any browser.

So, the default install path definitely needs to be changed from C:\Program Files\<junk>
to C:\Games\Syndicate

doesn't the issue with the Program Files folder exist only with UAC enabled? i've disabled UAC and always let anything install into the Program Files folder, and never had a problem.

I had to run the game as admin rather than just install as admin.
Played through the game running as admin without any crashes. (Can't get past the intro without admin)

Still no sound for me.

Are any of the above problems solved by installing through Galaxy?

Will installing through Galaxy on Windows 7 64-bit Pro even work? Will I have to edit the shortcuts to run as admin? And is the no-sound bug fixed yet?

I executed the reset_language.bat file and run the game, still no sound but I could choose language , then sound settings (left them alone) and only after I confirmed all of this I got sound in the game.
