Guild Wars 2

I purchased a physical copy a while back. Using DVD to install the game results in it automatically picking C drive as default directory which you can’t change in the setup, making it completely pointless.

Using the DVD simply downloads Gw2Setup.exe and runs that. It’s the new launcher that is bugged and doesn’t allow you to choose a directory. Simply let it get to the point where it begins downloading files and move the Guild Wars 2 folder wherever you want.

If you actually want to use the DVD, assuming it’s not empty, you need to merge the Gw2.js* files into Gw2.dat using the command:
copy /b Gw2.js* Gw2.dat
