Pfft, you did not get screwed. Slitherine has never screwed anybody, in fact they bend over backwards to help.
If you are having problems finding the game install directory, just r-click the shortcut on your desktop. On the resulting pop-up menu, check at top to make sure you are the "shortcut" tab, and then look at the "Start In" window to see exactly what directory your game is installed in.
Download the Vista fix file, unzip it and dump it in the game directory as determined above, and you are good to go.
It's worked for dozens, perhaps hundreds, of other people. There's no reason it can't work for you, too. Just take a deep breath and "cowboy up"
I know these things can be hella frustrating. I have vented in these forums a little once or twice myself (cough cough), but in the end, you can fix it yourself with a little patience and perseverance!

I have tried to do that and it seems to not be working. I am going to try and delete everything and download the program again. Hopefully something will work but if not I will be back unfortunately.
Frustration!!!!!!!
The download went fine but during installations I received 6 error messages.
1. C:\Program files\Slitherine\Gate of Troy\data\movies\intro1.bik doesnt match the file in setups .cab file. The medium from which you are running the setup maybe corrupted; contact the software vendor.
2. C:\Program files\Slitherine\Gate of Troy\data\movies\spartan.bik doesnt match the file in setups .cab file. The medium from which you are running the setup maybe corrupted; contact the software vendor.
3. C:\Program files\Slitherine\Gate of Troy\data\battle\units\25.3pk doesnt match the file in setups .cab file. The medium from which you are running the setup maybe corrupted; contact the software vendor.
4. C:\Program files\Slitherine\Gate of Troy\data\battle\walls\default\castle-wall-left.tga doesnt match the file in setups .cab file. The medium from which you are running the setup maybe corrupted; contact the software vendor.
5. C:\Program files\Slitherine\Gate of Troy\directX81\directX.cab doesnt match the file in setups .cab file. The medium from which you are running the setup maybe corrupted; contact the software vendor.
6. C:\Program files\Slitherine\Gate of Troy\directX\DXNT.cab doesnt match the file in setups .cab file. The medium from which you are running the setup maybe corrupted; contact the software vendor.
On all 6 errors I was given the option of ABORT/RETRY/IGNORE. I chose ignore.
When I attempted to run the program i was given the following error
1. cannot find import; DLL maybe missing, corrupt, or wrong version file "d3drm.dll", error 126

There are some accessories with windows like disk defragmenter but you may need to go and search for one on the internet. Look for something that checks for bad/corrupt disks.
Just to check again
* You unsinstalled Spartan
* You deleted the installer
* You downloaded the installer again
Can I just check the link you used to download it and if you used any download tools to help?

Have you tried downloading the file using a Download Manager? That might help prevent the corruption (although the installer should check itself anyway when it runs).
Do you have access to another machine, where you could try running the downloaded file? If you download on your machine, then copy to the other and it works, then it would point to a problem on your machine, rather than with the downloading.
