Ok, after installing it I was able to play it three times. Now, when I try to start it, it gives me the error:

Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item.

Now, I'm very familiar with this message. I rebooted, I logged on as administrator, even though it wasn't installed under admin. When I try to right-click, it seems to think it's an older Windows app and gives me the options to try to run it in Windows-compatibility mode, which is obviously wrong.

Any suggestions? I'm currently re-downloading it and will probably do a re-install, but if I don't have to, that would be great.

You must install beta as a Administrator, try to install again, and when install asks about repairing the beta, select it.
