Sorry I haven't had time to fiddle with it yet on my Windows 8 machine. I think I have a pretty good understanding of what the problem is after successfully installing it in Windows 7. Seems there is something different about the way Windows 8 handles folder ownership. My guess is that the Windows folder is off-limits for the installer due to folder/user permission settings even when running it as administrator with a local administrator account. The DEP settings/exclusions didn't make things different. I have been at the DEP settings before using another software and for some it seems to work with exclusions but to my knowledge it doesn't work well for everyone. I will unlicense the game from this Windows 7 machine and then get it working on my Windows 8.1 machine somehow, thanks for the input. Regards, Carl

Hello. I just bought the game and get the following crash at startup: Faulting application name: CM Shock Force.exe, version: 0.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x4dff2fcd Faulting module name: elicen40.dll, version: 4.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x3d86b216 Exception code: 0xc0000005 Fault offset: 0x00025001 Faulting process id: 0x4098 Faulting application start time: 0x01cf117d64072ecc Faulting application path: E:\Combat Mission Shock Force\CM Shock Force.exe Faulting module path: E:\Combat Mission Shock Force\elicen40.dll Report Id: a1b3baa3-7d70-11e3-8256-bcaec5231ff4 Demo worked just fine. I'm having this issue on a completly clean install of Windows 8.1 with no anti-viruses/firewalls/random-blockers etc. Read other threads that there might be some issue with the licensing service and a process named runservice.exe. Well I don't have a runservice.exe on Windows 8.1 Enterprise in c:\Windows. DEP and UAC is disabled and I'm running the app on admin account as administrator, even ran the installer as administrator. Also disabled Windows firewall and Windows Defender to no avail. There is also no service named LicCtrlService under services.msc. I feel like the runservice.exe never get installed when running CMSF_Setup.exe. At the very first launch of the installed game window should pop up where you input your License key no? I never get that Window... just the crash report. Also tried reinstalling the game several times to no avail. Any ideas? /Carl
