To install, select “setup.exe”.  An internet connection is required for this initial setup.  The game will run after

4.Known issues
==============

•	Sometimes a graphic card’s stereoscopic 3D setting can alter the colors displayed when the game is run in full 
	screen mode.  Disabling stereoscopic 3D on the card will fix the issue.

•	Prompt: "You cannot start application from this location because it is already installed from a different location."  
	This happens when installing an updated version of the game from a different directory than that of the original 
	install and is a quirk of the installer.  The solution is to first uninstall the existing version of Chasing Styx 
	from add/remove programs, then install the updated version.  Don't worry, your saves will be fine.
