My bad... You can't get it to INSTALL or won't it START? If it's a problem 
with the download applet thingy, you might try the full installer (75MB) at 
http://files.vgpro.com/file/3758 - or, if it won't work at all, I could 
upload traces with and without the beta patch to my webserver if you're 
interested...?

BTW, the missing pointer thing also happens with Stronghold 2 (which doesn't 
work anyway, multithreaded D3D - bug 3835). But Stronghold 2 is D3D9, so I 
don't know if it's the same bug.
