I have both the GW2setup.exe and GW2.exe files in the same folder outside program files (along with the dat file, ofc), always run as admin, have the same language as friend’s file.

OK, I am seriously hoping one of you guys may be able to help me out. Here’s more or less what’s going on: I have a 3Mbps connection at home, which means ~300KB/s download speed, that’s a huge nuisance for me and my family because it’d mean me taking up the whole connection for like 3 days straight, and that’s no good at all. With that in mind, a friend offered to copy and paste his dat and exe files (which are pretty much everything it’s needed from what I’ve read on other forums and whatnot) so that the download part can be skipped.
Problem starts when I copy and afterwards try using the exe file, installer insists on me downloading the 300k+ files. Tried repairing, recopying, opening the setup file, this post, sent a ticket to GW support and they only said to send them computer specs and to try disabling services and to no avail.
I now turn to you guys while trying to still install and play the game.
