Error!

Eh, I got my Guild Wars copy today and I tried to install it.

I ran the setup.exe and it said that it is not a valid Win32 application.

Whats wrong?!?!

Did you try to download it from the website. I would wipe it out and try to reinstall using the web link.

That's an odd error- I'd recommend you contact ArenaNet about it at their support site: http://support.guildwars.com

Hopefully they'll be able to get things straightened out. If not, you can download the client application from their website and it will automatically download the game for you- you'll have a considerable amount of downloading to do for a while, but you'll at least be able to play.

What is your specs?

Pentium 4, Windows ME, NVidia GeForce FX 5200

I'm pretty sure I meet all the specs.

Windows ME... Really??? ::shakes head in disgust::

LOL, go get XP, lol

Lol...

Microsoft XP Media Center Edition...

Not Millenia Edition or w/e

The Sys. Req. say that ME is supported, so that shouldn't be the problem.
Sounds to me like your setup.exe file is corrupted. You should take the CD back to the shop and ask them to replace it.

I am not saying you have one, but you may want to check for virus'es if you find that a reinstall does not work. You may also need to run scandisk. Hope we can get you ready to play

I can just use the client from the site to play the game right?

Yeah, I'll probably end up taking it back.

I wrote a question to somebody but they replied with information that didn't help

Thanks for the nice compliment. I presume you got it working; Thats great! Could you post what exactly fixed it? Or did you simply follow all of the steps at the link? It may help others in the future to know exactly what fixed it for you.

I followed the link, I think it was using the step with msconfig that fixed it.

Thanks again DarkMane!
