This is a new one for me. Perhaps I deleted a necessary file a while back when I was inactive?

"The file "'C:\Program Files(x86)\Ruby-1.8.6\bin\rubyw.exe" "C:\Program Files\lich\lich.rbw" \help32.txt' could not be opened. Please check that your disk is not full and that you have access to the destination directory. The file name, directory name, or"

The text stops there, the box is too small. Any idea how to fix this clusterfuck?

Try uninstalling the launcher first. If they doesn't help, open up regedit and delete:


HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Simutronics\Launcher\D irectory

I have no Simutronics folder under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software

I cannot load through the SGE either.

The Launcher won't install. That's when I get that error, trying to install it.

You might have to run regedit as admin to see the registry key.

Even as admin, it isn't there. I only have a simu folder under users and the launcher is not there.

I can't log into the game through SGE either. Only through IE. Error code on SGE is similar to the previous one.

"While attempting to run "C:\Program Files(x86)\Ruby-1.8.6\bin\rubyw.exe" "C:\Program Files\lich\lich.rbw"\launcher.exe C:\UsersBRIANS~1\AppData\Local\Temp\Gse.xt CreateProcess failed with error code 3

It really should be there.. Being logged in as admin isn't the same as running a program as admin, for some reason. Are you right clicking on regedit.exe and clicking "run as admin" or something similar?

You could also look for:


HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\Simutronics.Au tolaunch\Shell\Open\command\

I didn't think that registry key caused this error, but at this point it's worth a try.

Are you on Windows 8?
