So my wife and I are coming back to GW2 after a couple years away. Neither of us have the game installed on our systems currently, though we did in the past. I downloaded the 64-bit client, put it on my F: drive and ran it. (My C: drive does not have enough room.)

Boom. HD out of space. Same issue on my wife’s system. It keeps trying to download the game to C:\Program Files\Guild Wars 2.

I do not have the option of choosing the install location when I click ‘Install’ on the client.
How can I fix this?

Thanks.

Fixed it: started the download, then stopped it. Moved the entire folder from where it was trying to install on the C: to where I wanted it. Then I started up the game .exe (not the installer exe) and the download resumed in the new location.

This fixed it for me as well, thanks!

Agreed. There are definitely better ways to accommodate this, and I’m sure plenty of people have run into this issue. Should be an option during install, like every other game/program.
