So i installed Amnesia the Dark Descent and it was working fine until i move the games folder to the desktop. I changed the games location to where it should be on my desktop but now when i try to launch Amnesia i get this message,
Failed to launch item.

Failed to launch item Amnesia: The Dark Descent, File
is not valid exe [C:/Users/Russ/Desktop/Amnesia -
The Dark Descent/redist/launcher/Launcher.exe].
[61.0]

My Amnesia launcher exe is in the launcher folder so i don't know why it's still not opening. Please help!

The game needs to be in the same location as the Desura application, so in this case the common folder.
