[Discontinued]
[Update 2018.02.01 GOGGalaxy1.2.34.10VistaPatch.zip setup_galaxy_1.2.34.10.exe]
NEW Short Instructions:
-1) If you have GOGGalaxy installed in a non-standard folder (for example not on c: partition) you need to edit paths in the .DP file. In order to do that it is enough to use the notepad.exe tool.
MAKE SURE THAT ALL THE PATHS IN THE .DP FILE ARE CORRECT.
0) Download GOG Galaxy v1.2.12.10 (or GOG Galaxy v1.2.12.10a) and install (some errors will appear after installation-ignore them).
1) Download DPPatcher
2) Execute DPPatcher.exe, browse for an appropriate DP file and open it
3) Copy kernel36.dll file to the GOG Galaxy folder AND to the folder %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\GOG.com\Galaxy\redists\overlay\ (it is usually C:\ProgramData\GOG.com\Galaxy\redists\overlay\
4) Turn off the internet connection (to avoid GOG Galaxy auto-update).
5) Launch GogGalaxy
6) Turn on the internet connection and click “connect now”.
Note: That is (most likely) the last version of GOG Galaxy for which I deliver a patch for Vista. The reason is that newer versions of Galaxy use newer version of CEF.
