This will, finally, install "C:\Program Files (x86)\GOG Galaxy\".ġ1a. Run your "GalaxySetup - Copy.exe", probably as an administrator, since this is the real installer. Dismiss any open "Something went wrong" error.ġ0. Then you can close all those apps down.ĩ. That should give you time to copy the file. If you can't do it successfully after several tries, start up a bunch of heavy-duty applications to bog your system down to a crawl (like run several major games at once, open 5 browsers, run all Office apps at once, or whatever). If you get an error about it not being runnable, you didn't do the paste fast enough. You'll know it worked right if you can successfully run that copied application. You must do this before another "Something went wrong" error pops up. VERY QUICKLY, copy-paste the GalaxySetup.exe that appears. Go into your copied "GalaxyInstaller_Xxxxx", and run "GalaxyInstaller.exe"Ĩ. That also closes GOG_Galaxy_2.0.exe, and deletes the original ".\Temp\GalaxyInstaller_Xxxxx" temporary folder.ħ. Close the "something went wrong" error window. Go up one directory level, and copy (not cut) this entire "GalaxyInstaller_Xxxxx", and paste it into your Downloads folder or onto your Desktop (or where ever).Ħ. In Windows Explorer, you will now be in a directory with a name that changes every time it will be something like: "%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\Temp\GalaxyInstaller_Xxxxx", where "Xxxxx" is random gibberish.ĥ. Find "GOG Galaxy - Web Installer" in the process list, right click it, and pick "Open file location".Ĥ.
It will die with an very unhelpful error message that "something went wrong". Download the base installer, "GOG_Galaxy_2.0.exe".Ģ. That's stupid, and looks like a trojan (inside another trojan), which may be why the system is thwarting it.ġ. I also don't know why GOG Galaxy is an installer inside an installer inside an installer. I don't know why GOG's installer isn't smart enough to ask you if you want it to set up Windows Firewall exceptions for the parts it needs (and I would guess that most users don't have this problem because they have local or group policy settings that are lax).
