I know this thread is old, but you are correct. There is a relatively simple solution however.
The default directory for Galactic Adventures is as followed: C:\Program Files\EA Games\Spore\SPORE Galactic Adventures\SporebinEP1
(Likewise if you saved it on a different hard-drive, change the first letter to the one you saved it on)
From there on, you want to click 'SporeApp'. This will load Galactic Adventures.
EA should get this patched up as soon as possible; It is a major oversight in their application.
This does not work for me. Also the 60 FPS mod does not work.
