Sacred2.exe is located inside the system directory. The issue turned out to be that because I installed WIndows 8 professional, the game center is not there, so there is no hint of a short cut. Additionally, in order to play the game, it appears that I have to manually run the game server first,and then the sacred game client. I am happily playing now! :-).

Where did you find the EXE? The Win8 PC is gathering dust in a closet, but IIRC it was in the same location as Win7. Should be: ..\Deep Silver\Sacred 2 - Fallen Angel\system\sacred2.exe. The beginning of the path will vary depending on where you installed it. Nope, sacred2.exe is no where to be found :-(.

Thanks! No, that is the puzzling part, there is no indicating of an issue, but the executable and the shortcuts are missing.

I purchased the UK version of Sacred 2 and the Ice & Blood expansion; and had been happily playing on my windows 7 computer. I recently repaved my computer and installed Windows 8 (for better or worse); now when I install Sacred 2; the installer completes as if it worked properly, but the main executable is missing, and none of the short cuts are in place. It looks like all of the other files are there. Anyone have any ideas how to correct this? I tried setting the compatibility settings to Windows 7, Vista, and run as administrator and several other combinations, but it still continues to not place all of the files. Any help would be greatly appreciated! John
