Hello, let me explain. The dvd which from i installed vista 32bits has no
game explorer pre installed (it's a custom installation dvd) and now for some
reasons i need to reinstall it but it's not present in the install program
window. Is it possible to reinstall it from another source (like another dvd)
?

Tanks in advance

If you have a company owned computer and they installed
a custom version of Windows Vista, you cannot install
anything not approved by your company. Otherwise, you
would likely jeopardize your employment.

Windows 2000 used to have a little file that listed one could edit to get
everything to show up in the Add/Remove programs - remember that (?) - would
Vista have a similar file?

P.S.

%SystemRoot%\Inf\Sysoc.inf

Up

Don't worry for my employment I just try to play the Bioshock demo (and
after, i hope, the complete game) and this game is trying to make a link in
the game explorer so i have this error "Failed to create gameexplorer
object". And 2kgames is stuck in another problems, they don't care about
mine. So if there's a way to fix it by myself, i'd like to know how.
Thanks.
