That takes you right to the download file.
All you'll need is your access key.

Is this client the one that downloads as you go?

it all does, the way you fix that is after it downloads right click the desktop icon for guild wars then after guildwars.exe" type -image just like that with a space between it and the "
now double click the icon, let it download all files, then take the word -image off and play a full downloaded guild wars.

Just to clarify this.

Right click the Shortcut to Guild Wars icon.
Click properties.
Open the shortcut tab.
Edit the target to add -image on the end.
So it should look something like this:

"C:\Program Files\Guild Wars\Gw.exe" -image

Start up GW - It will download the files.
Once it has downloaded, remove the -image.
Play!

Sounds like you may have gotten a DVD and your drive is only a CD - or it just doesn't work, in which case you should get a new DVD drive.

Anyway, yes, you can download it online. Just use the key that came with the one from Wally-mart and use the -image command to d'load the rest.
