It is NOT a game link, it's a program required for many games to run, if you have Steam it will install for most games you download....if you do not see it in the list of installed programs, then that "could be" your issue, and also "could not be"....and start by getting it installed, as your old computer probably did have it installed at one point.
Also, move your game folder to your desktop or the root of c/drive....
After that, then well, you will just have ask in the general forum or wait for someone to see if they know.
