Stardock Central installation problem

from GalCiv2 Forums
I'm trying to install Stardock Central but I'm getting the error "explorer.exe is not a Win32 file" near the end of the installation.

When I type in explorer.exe in Start->Run... I get the same error if I don't type in the path, but when I type in the correct path "C:/WIndows/explorer.exe" it runs fine.

My computer is otherwise running fine, and I regularly install a few programs a week without any problems. I've done a full Norton scan and have no virsuses, malware and such.

Any ideas?

Thanks

I submitted this problem to Stardock support via email on March 5 and they responded on March 7 (ticket #LVZ-444158) asking for a Hijack This log. I sent this immediately, and have heard nothing since despite the follow up emails I sent. Would someone from Stardock please respond (sorry, wasn't sure where to post this apart from here)?

Thanks.

P.S. I know it might appear that there is some issue with my system, but I've run several anti-virus and anti-spyware apps and there are no major issues. I've had this system for a couple of years and installed untold numbers of applicaitons, including older versions of Stardock Central, without any problem.
