Cannot install client.
someone able to help? This is horribly frustrating.
Would be great if you can tell us which error the error window displays
I tried to copy it here, but it said it was to long.
change the name gw2 setup to Gw2.exe t
I did, and tried doing it after moving it into the directory it would install to. c:\ProgramFiles\Guild Wars 2 for example

“Timed out while creating browser context” is caused when Gw2.exe is blocked from executing CoherentUI.
Move the folder where GW2 (Gw2.exe) is located to one of your personal locations, such as your desktop or try to run it as an administrator. If that doesn’t help, add GW2 as an exception to any security software you may be running. Specifically, you will want to look for a feature called HIPS or something involving application execution. If there’s a sandboxing feature, it will need to be disabled.
tried the desktop, new error appeared:

Allow CoherentUI through your firewall.
the only firewall I have is the windows firewall. I can’t type CoherentUI to allow it.

Well, it sure looks like something is blocking it. Some anti-virus programs also have network protection which may act as a firewall.
I’m using Windows Firewall with Microsoft Security Essentials.

Here’s a few things you can try:
Under MSE, select the Settings tab and choose “Excluded files and locations” on the left side. Browse for the folder where Gw2.exe is located and click OK. Click the Add button to add the path to the bottom box, then Save changes.
Right click Gw2.exe and select run as administrator.
Run GW2 with the option Gw2.exe -repair. Open the folder where Gw2.exe is located and in the address bar, add Gw2.exe -repair at the end of the path and press enter. For example, if the folder was C:\Example\GW2, you would want to enter
C:\Example\GW2\Gw2.exe -repair and press enter.
Delete the folder %appdata%/Guild Wars 2/, the file Documents/Guild Wars 2/Local.dat and in the folder where Gw2.exe is located, everything except Gw2.exe and Gw2.dat.
Open “Computer” select the drive where GW2 is located, right click it and select properties. Under the tools tab, select disk error checking and run through the process.

I believe that does have some form of network protection.
Personally, I would switch to Avast, MSE really is not very good.
I did all that, and now it makes a folder with bin, crash.dmp, gw2.dat, gw2.exe.tmp, gw2tmp, and thirdpartysoftwarereadme
But still errors out.
Look at the file sizes of those tmp files. Are any of them ~25 MB? If so, delete Gw2.exe and rename the tmp file to Gw2.exe. The launcher seems to be having trouble updating itself.
The tmp files are all 0kb
Never had this issue before and have installed GW2 and other MMOs multiple times. I am beyond flustered, lol.
Make a new folder on your desktop, download Gw2Setup.exe, rename it to Gw2.exe and place it in that folder. Right click Gw2.exe and select properties. If it says that the file is blocked, click the unblock button and Ok out of the properties. Also ensure that you actually have enough free space on the drive, which should be C:, assuming a standard installation.
Open MSE. Under the settings tab, select real-time protection on the left and uncheck the box on the right to turn it off. Click save changes. It should now complain that you are at risk. You can turn it back on later. Doing this should rule out MSE entirely.
Open the start menu and search for cmd.exe. Right click it and run it as an administrator. Enter the command sfc /scannow and press enter to scan your system files for any problems.
Run Gw2.exe. It should start by downloading a launcher update, close, then re-open and begin downloading ~300k files. If you manage to get to this point where you can see the login box, close the launcher and copy Gw2.dat from your other folder to the new one and overwrite it. Gw2.dat is the game data.
If the launcher still failed however, press WindowsKey+R to open the run dialog and open msconfig to bring up System Configuration. Under the boot tab, check “Safe boot” and select “Network” under it. Click OK and reboot. Your computer will start in safe mode with only essential services running. To undo this, simply open msconfig again and uncheck safe boot. Try running Gw2.exe under safe mode. You won’t be able to actually launch the game however, but the launcher should still work. If the launcher does work under safe mode, but continues to fail out of safe mode, you have a program installed that is interfering with GW2. You’ll have to use msconfig to disable all non-Microsoft services and startup programs and re-enable them a few at a time to determine which one it is.
If it still failed through everything (with the same error), what is your OS? At this point, it’d be faster and easier to do a clean install of Windows. If you really don’t have any other security software running, your computer is likely infected.
