i got my from an usb.

I just duplicated the issue by installing a new SSD and attempting to add shortcuts to the desktop for an existing AH installation. On the exact same HDD I installed a fresh copy of AH. One works, one does not. From the SSD if I try to start the existing version it creates a white background, but then crashes and closes. Troubleshooting it I get the message that the shortcut was improperly dragged from another location.
