Can't install, is it possible to bypass?

from Sins Forums
As I understand it, once you have the game installed and registered, you can re-download it at any time. Is that correct?

Is there a way I can register the game without it being installed? For some reason, the installation gets about 15% in before it crashes my CD drive (computer won't recognize the CD after the crash - I must reboot).

Any other way to download the game without repaying?

Thanks for any assistance.

I'm interested in hearing a response to this as well. I've been contemplating downloading the game as well.

1) Get Stardock Central (our download manager, used to get patches or even the entire game should you not have your discs handy to install from).

2) Install it and log in with the same account you made for the forum.

3) Go to the Tools menu in SDC, and choose Register Products.

4) Pick Games on the left in the Register Products window, then find Sins in the Product pull-down menu. Enter your email address (same as forum account, again) and serial number, then click Register.

5) Back at the main screen of SDC, pick Games on the left. You should see Sins under a Purchased Products heading on the right side. Select it and click the Install button that appears.

That should do the trick. If you encounter an error message while trying to register the serial in (4), please contact [email protected].
