Your registry is likely to be corrupt.
You maybe have placed the VC folder into another sub-directory or changed names, ah whatever.
Write regedit in run(/start), then find Pterodon.

The reg should be pasted here afterwards so its easy to see what the prob is

Improving gameplay since 2003

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Pterodon\Vietcong
should have a "installdir" string with the specified instalation directory
as well as HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Pterodon\Vietcong\versioninfo should have a "Patch version name" should contain the patch currently installed's version #

after that (even just the installdir) it will think your game is installed

Try to reinstall, it should work.
