Game wont finish first time setup (SH5)

[Mocket]

Hey can anyone tell me how to fix this damn problem
the game has installed and i have verified and defraged it as well as re-installing a few times but once its done installing and i start up the game it keeps repeating through the final step (.Net 2.0 SP1 instillation)

Is there anyway to fix this? I have sent a question to support and my comp can run the game but i cant even get into it.

Any help would be great.
Thanks

I have a similar issue, though I can play the game after it runs, but the "First time setup" runs each time I launch the game...

I can (and do ;) ) click "No" to the UAC dialog, which saves some time, but it should not be running everytime I launch (or indeed, at all, since I have the correct updated files already installed)...

Diemos_13 what do you mean by click no in the UAC dialog? What is the UAC dialog?

It does that because Ubisoft have their head far up their putrid ♥♥♥.
