Installation Issue

A couple of months ago my windows screwed up which resulting in me reinstalling it. I didn't want to reinstall all my programs so I copied the program folders back across. I eventually removed GW to save space, but recently I have tried to reinstall but with no results. all other online games work without any issues, only GW seems to have an issue when I try to install. I have already tried compatibility mode, running as administrator, installing from discs, installing from the downloadable client, turning off my firewall and antivirus, and forwarding ports 80 and 6112.

You probably need to download a crudload of files.
Try -image.

The problem is, I can't use -image as it wont get past the installation stage so adding -image just leaves me with the same screen.

hmm

try -diag

Got exactly the same issue.
