Sins Forums
Hey all,
Every time I go to update Entrenchment it tells me it can't find Sins and it makes me download and install it again. Anyone else having this problem? Any idea on how to fix it?
Thanks,
Sammual
Now Impluse wants me to re-install sins every time I play Entrenchment.

There was a mandatory reinstall between beta 2.5 and beta 3, but it shouldn't be doing that any longer, so something probably got mucked up. Best contact support@stardock.com.
AFAIK, there was a mandatory reinstall from beta 3 to release as well. Nakor posted somewhere that he'll take it off soon, but it definitely shouldn't be asking to do it when playing 
Forced a reinstall from a patch after the offical release too that was 10? Mb's the other day.
That's odd, too. I did that update last night but it didn't force a reinstall for me.
The problem is that Impulse can't find sins. I browse to the folder and it just brings me back to the Install / Browse / Cancel screen. I can play sins so I know it is there. I will email support when I get home tonight.

Sounds like it might not have permissions to write to the registry. But yeah, they'll help you fix it.
it had the same issue yesterday when trying to update the sins hotfix.
with the release of entrenchment i uninstalled sins completely, deleted all folders & configs and cleaned up the registry.
then did a full an clean install of sins - patched to 1.15 and installed entrenchment 1.0 - all was fine.
now the hotfix came and impulse told me that sins was not installed - wtf? i just did that 1 day ago.
with my fast connection i let impulse download it again, usually doesn't take more than 30 minutes.
but after some time the download stopped complaining about "download file too big" or something like that, very funny and weird error.
from that point i couldn't do anything, every button i hit in impulse gave me an error that there is currently a installation in progress and that i had to wait for it to complete.
the installation itself gave me an xml error.
trying to close impulse gave me an error that it was not possible to shut down at the moment *lol*
killed the process, restarted my pc, startet up impulse and almost everything was fine
patched to 1.01 but according to impulse original sins was still missing.
as i don't play anything except entrenchment i don't really care as long future updates don't mess around like this anymore.
everything above was on windows xp profession 32bit.
