Ok, I get it now. I downloaded the game setup files using "free trial" links directly from their official website.
Interestingly their official website they don't link to those in appdb. Maybe they redesigned it and the files/packages referenced in appdb are most likely leftovers from earlier versions.
Example game bookworm:
Appdb links:
http://downloads.popcap.com/www/popcap_downloads/BWASetup.exe http://downloads.popcap.com/www/popcap_downloads/BookwormSetup.exe
Offical link (1.13):
http://downloads.popcap.com/www/popcap_downloads/BookwormSetup-en.exe
From a quick glance, this looks like another heap abuse.
I've dissected some heap abuses in other bug reports, unfortunately they are time consuming to analyze properly.
The command line is not supposed to contain anything other than "popcapgame1.exe" with full path to temporarily extracted executable. Windows tolerates much app brain damage, hence the app bug probably doesn't unearth there.
In the newer version I downloaded the problem is fixed. The command line for CreateProcess() call is properly built.
Actually I don't feel obliged to waste time on now obsolete buggy app versions.
Regards
