I seem to remember reading that if you copy the files to the desired folder. Example:

C:\Program Files\GuildWars\

Then run the GW.exe file it should detect that this is a new install. From this point it will install itself and create all reg keys and shortcuts etc.

I've not tried this however but mearly read it.

I recently reinstalled Windows... I backed up the GW folder, reinstalled the OS, installed the latest client from the GW site, ran it once so a GW.dat file was created, then I overwrote the GW.dat with the one I backed up. Worked great.

Edit: I went ahead and installed the client on the fresh OS since I'm not sure if it makes registry changes or not. Too lazy to find out.

Some corruption in the transfering? It happens, try -image or -repair if that one still works.
