Help with Win8

[Golgri]

I bought Shadows and it wont start ... earlier versions dont start, too. I have the German Version of the ground Program. If posssible answer German.

I'm sorry that I can't do this in German, I'm an English only speaker.

Make certain that the XNA package is installed (included with Shadows). I mistakenly assumed that it was already on my Win8 computer and skipped the installation of the package when I first installed Shadows. Once the package was installed, everything worked perfectly. .Net 4.0 is included with Win8 so does not need to be installed.
