InstallBlast

A Docking Station shortcut to InstallBlast.exe

InstallBlast was a feature used by Docking Station to check for updates, and it is the default setting for the DS icons on Windows computers, giving a message (example below) when the game starts up to check for updates.

However, loading InstallBlast tends to cause errors and crashes, as it is an obsolete feature. Changing the location of any shortcuts from InstallBlast.exe to engine.exe fixes the problems.
