I'm afraid my German is good enough to read your email, but only just.
This is largely an english-language list, which I can't help but feel a
bit embarrassed about as I'm embarrassingly mono-lingual.

If you'd prefer a German-speaking list, have a look here:

As you are asking about Poker Tracker, I suggest you contact them for
technical support. They may be able to offer you more direct, personal
help than we can here.

That said, the error you report could be a localization issue. You're
presumably running a German build of Windows 7, with a localized name
for C:\Program Files . Given the name, you are also obviously running a
64-bit Windows 7 build. I can't help but wonder if the Pg installer is
looking for the non-localized path, though I thought Windows did some
path rewriting to work around that anyway.
