I found a error when clicking on the setup in Cosmic Quest part 2 error: unable to launch 'tfas2-32bit.exe'. make sure that the file is in the same directory as this setup program.
Is there a patch for this help!

most likely the name of the .exe file has been changed after it was compiled (to add the "-32bit" part maybe?). However, winsetup.exe really just calls the game .exe with the parameter "--setup", so it's quite easy to work around.

Either 1) use the Run function in the Windows Start Menu and type the game's directory path and file name followed by "--setup", like so: "c:\Games\tfas2-32bit.exe --setup". Or 2) create a shortcut to the game .exe and then modify it's properties. In the "Target" field, you should see the folder and filename. After the last quotation mark (which should be kept), write "--setup" (without the quotes). Then apply your settings and double-click the shortcut icon.

Thanks for the help creating the shortcut idea worked!

Also, this is not a really technical problem. Next time, ask in the games own thread first.
