After the game installs (or, as it did just now, updates), it creates an icon on the desktop of my Windoze 7 32bit system - as it should.
However, that icon is not a link, but a file of 0 bytes, and the image is not the nice fat E when you link the actual EXE, but just an empty page...
Horrors, horrors! Such an urgent issue, requiring an immediate fix!
