BG2 Shortcut not working after running CCleaner

CCleaner for Windows CCleaner Windows Bug Reporting
1

I'm not sure if this is a bug with version 1.26.218.

Whenever CCleaner finds this after scanning the registry:

Problem: Application Paths Issue

Data: BG2Main.Exe - C:\Program Files\Black Isle\BGII-SoA\BG2Main.Exe

Registry Key: HKLM\Software\Microsoft\windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\BG2Main.Exe

We're no longer able to run Baldur's Gate 2 through the desktop shortcut. When we click on the shortcut, it only gives the Install option, not Play. :huh:

I don't have any of the older CCleaner versions on my hard drive to see if this is just with the current version that I have. I'm sure it's not with the game because everything went smoothly with its install.

Any insights on this?

Thanks in advance.

CCleaner wouldnt touch that game. You can look in its .ini files to see what it cleans. The only way that ccleaner would have deleted anything is if that game stored files in temp.

I didn't think so, too, but after turning off the "application paths" option inside the registry cleaner settings, BG2 worked fine. I'm guessing it's something with the CCleaner program, but I'm not sure. :)

Thanks!

Just a small clarification.

Finally found it's something with BG2 after all. As per Bioware's site which I quote here:

Thanks to rridgely for the assistance. ;)
