Hi Taryn – This error looks like it’s due to the fact that you’re trying to install from the temp directory. The easiest way to resolve this issue is to pull Gw2.exe out of the temp drive and onto the C drive by following the below steps:

1. Hold down the Windows button on the keyboard and hit the R key.

2. Paste in the following line “Temp” (without the quotes) and then click OK.

3. Find Gw2.exe and right-click on the file and select Cut

4. Go to your C drive and into the Games folder. If there is no Games folder, create one.

5. In the Games folder, create the folder Guild Wars 2 and go into it.

6. In the Guild Wars 2 folder, right-click and select Paste.

7. Run Gw2.exe from the Guild Wars 2 folder.

The game should launch and immediately start patching. Two additional files should be created: Gw2.dat and Gw2.tmp
