I tried installing it 6 times and each time I got that setup error message, that the setup file is corrupted. I tried doing a clean re-install and an over-write install and neither made any difference unfortunately.

Seems they need to work on their coding a bit more before releasing this.

I couldn't install it at first. I just got a window that says "we are sorry but giveaway period has expired for this software" when I tried to run setup.exe. This made me a very sad wicketbird...so I downloaded it again, and tried a second time. This time it ran and crashed before finishing the install, like it has for others, so I tried to start it again, and guess what? "giveaway period expired". So, since I had 2 copies, I tried the other one, and that on happily finished the install!
I sure hope I like this game!

samm: reinstall it. It will work the second time around. (You can just rerun, don't have to delete any folders or anything.)

wicketbird: try to reinstall it. make sure you get the GAOTD "activated" browser window once it is done.

I'm getting a message that the install is corrupted. It's 10:50 pm EST. I really wanted to play this too

Hi,
It's just about 6:30 PST and when I try to install Silkwood, I'm getting a message that says, "we're sorry, but the free activation period for this software has expired" or words to that effect. I'm going to re-download it again, but any idea when is going on here and what to do about it? I've only had this problem once before, with either the puppy or kitten game, and at that time it was too late for me to re-download the file. I'm just doing a straight download with my browser, Firefox, and I have ton's of space on my download drive.
Thanks, Mary
