Okay, I downloaded the installer, installed the game, and extracted the files, all without a hitch. Only problem is, after the files were extracted, it just quit after that. No icons on my desktop or anything to be found on my computer (as far as I have seen, anyways). I would've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, except for the fact that I can't find it on my programs list :(
Anyone have any ideas to help me?

    Assuming you used the Direct Download path :

    1. The link on our webpage itself gives you the Perfect_World_Downloader_v3.exe file. It's a small (~1.0 megabyte) download.

    2. The Perfect_World_Downloader_v3.exe program will download the Perfect_World_International.exe file. By default, it downloads it to My Documents/Downloads/ (XP) or Documents/Downloads (Vista). This .exe file is the large download, roughly 2.378 gigabytes.

    3. Perfect_World_International.exe, when run, extracts a lot of installation files into a folder. By default, it extracts them into the same folder it is sitting in, the (My) Documents/Downloads. One of the files it extracts will be called install.exe

    4. Running install.exe will give you the option of verifying the client download, installing the client itself, and putting a shortcut icon down on the desktop.

    5. Double-click the shortcut icon to patch the game, or use the manual patcher.

    You sound like you just completed step 3. Do a search for install.exe, and Run (As Administrator, in Vista) the one that shows up in the Documents/Downloads folder.

    Press Start --> Documents --> Downloads

    In there find the folder called Perfect World Internatinal and run the install again. A good thing would be to check if there were any errors during the download and after installation if it works anyway. Good luck.
