Guild Wars 2

For some reason, im unable to install Guild Wars 2 once it get’s to 100k + KBs downloaded it pop’s up with a box saying Yes / No i hit yes it then does not respond?

i unistalled it after the new patch as i was having issues, but now it wont re install Help?!

Right click Gw2.exe and create a shortcut. Right click the shortcut and select properties. Modify the shortcut’s target like this, using your own path:

Target: "C:\Example\Guild Wars 2\Gw2.exe" -StreamingClient

Click OK. Right click the shortcut and run it as an administrator. This should prevent getting stuck on a few files remaining.

it’s the thing that pops up xD asking for permission and, how do i right click it if it wont install? as im launching the setup

Create a “Guild Wars 2” folder on your desktop. Move Gw2Setup.exe into that folder and rename it to Gw2.exe. You can move this folder wherever you want later.

what about the issue where it’s not letting me download the last file, i just replaced the gw2.data with the old one from before or should i just let it redownload it?

Im even worse off… I had the same connectivity thing, along with some very strange flickering in the launcher window, so i thought no matter, ill just uninstall the whole thing and redownload it.
Now when I download GWsetup it crashes every time :-/

The problem with this is that this is IF the game is already installed.

The issue is with the executable downloaded installer that downloads the game NOT JUST THE PATCH. The -StreamingClient is if you have the option for the target location NOT THE INSTALLER EXECUTABLE meaning the game is already fully installed on your current system.

We need not have a screenshot as the op states that they UNINSTALLED THE GAME. btw I am using captiols to highlight key points not to have a go at anyone.

The executable installer in no way has a target location within it’s properties so the -StreamingClient add on will be pointless at this initial stage.

Actually, thinking about it. There should be no problem with the Gw2Setup.exe filename but there is and I would seriously recommend ANet get this resolved. No customer should have to rename or cut and paste a web installer to a new location and should as originally (I believe) have standard install option just as on any software such as a standard install location but the option to change that. Seriously look into this please someone. It is not that hard to implement is it?

I made a File on my desktop named it guild wars 2, put Gw2Setup.exe and renamed it to gw2.exe like someone said in a prior post and its working and installing

currently at 92%

95% and counting

Works for me

The fix is currently working. I completely uninstalled Gw2 and re downloaded the client.

Steps
1)Created GuildWars2 folder in the directory where i wanted to install.
2)Put the Gw2Setup.exe in the folder and rename it to Gw2.exe.
3)Right click the Gw2.exe and click create shortcut.
4)Right click the shortcut and click properties.
5)Add this line to your target, after the quotes :::Example:::“C:\Program Files (x86)\GuildWars2\Gw2.exe” -StreamingClient
