Game Won't Luanch

When I try to launch World of Goo, through Steam, the dialog box saying the game is starting pops up for just a split second, and then it disappears but the game does not launch. I don't get an error message or anything; nothing happens.

I'm on Windows 7.

Any idea what's going on? I've restarted Steam, but it did not fix my problem.

Thanks.

Hm. If it's on Steam, try uninstalling and reinstalling, or, if this is an option for WoG (I don't have a Steam copy), right-click it in the list, bring up Properties, and verify the integrity of the game's files.

Another Planet finally has an official release! Download chapters 1 through 3 here! Thank you for waiting so long while I kept starting over.

Just deleted and re-installed it. No change.

Have you tried launching WoG directly from its .exe? It should be located in [Steam Root]/steamapps/common/worldofgoo (or something similar).

If that works then we can conclude that it's a problem with Steam, otherwise there's something weird going on with WoG itself.

Remarkably, that worked. There must be some problem with Steam. Thanks!

Glad to know that it worked! That's weird though, I don't know why it wouldn't work with Steam.

That reminds me, I also tried running world of goo through steam, when it didn't work, I didn't really take notice. There must be an issue with Steam.
