UNABLE TO INSTALL


The installer could not write Guild Wars to the specified directory. Please check that you have administrative access, that you have permission to install programs to the specified directory, and that there is sufficient space on your drive.



It just gave me this message, and i dunno wtf it is. The directory is the same ive used for a year, im the only full admin on this computer, and we have 338 gigs of Ram out of 367- thats 92% free in the C drive partition. So, this has me going, WHAT THE HELL?


Any advice?

Is your C-drive in FAT style? (search for it under the rightclick menu by properties for your harddrive ) FAT files may not become bigger than something around 4GB and gw can become a little bit bigger than that

possible solution: Make your HD a NTSF styled disk
