Downloaded, installed to C:\Games\To The Moon to avoid UAC, tried compatibility mode, will not run at all. My specs shouldn't be relevant; this game should run on any comp made in the past 5 years or so. Any suggestions? Am I missing something?

What error message are you getting? I installed it in a custom folder as well and it ran flawlessly.

dont get an error message at all, I see the window open up, and it just shuts down automatically.

Hmm...You should check out the Tech support forum at Freebird.

Finally figured it out. Checked out the link you sent and added the file Data Execution Prevention system, and got it working. Thanks for the tip.
