The PC version has an issue if you try to install to anything other than the default directory. Here is a workaround though (but only if you want to install in a non default directory):
Quote:
1) Run the installer once, with the non-default folder you want to install to. The installer will say it was interrupted.
2) Download the “Windows Install Clean Up” tool from Microsoft. (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301 has an explanation/download link)
3) Start the installer again, but don’t click past the first screen that pops up.
4) Run the “Windows Install Clean Up” and remove “Ghostbusters: The Video Game”.(You could probably also clean your registry however else you wanted at this point if you're savvy).
5) Click next in the installer, and reinstall to the same location you picked before. It should now install correctly to the folder you chose.
The main key is to start the installer a second time, clean the registry with the Windows registry tool, and then finish running the installer.

PC development is always a lot harder than console development simply because there are so many variables in hardware and software configurations. The market is only 1/10th of the console market, so the extra effort doesn't usually payoff for the manufacturer. Plus, the games usually get pirated way faster on PC, and if you try to put security on there the users get pissed at having to jump through hoops. It's not really worth the headaches for most publishers, which is why the PC versions of most games seem to come across as an afterthought.
As far as the delay in Europe is concerned - the word is it's because Atari didn't have a distribution deal in place. Sony agreed to distribute the game, but on the condition the PS3 would be available first.
