How to run GW from an exiting GW folder

Hi i just formated my computer and before i formated i saved the GW file folder is there any possible way to just copy this files to the computer and run the game withought having to download again all the 2.5GBs if there is can you please answer me thks.

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.

i did what you said at take a look at my screen i dont know what is goin on.




it looks preaty cool

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