    Just double-click on patch file it will start auto-install itself .



    You can use any method stated above it will help you !

    Is it supposed to be on version 670? If not what patch do I download?

    Unfortunately the pupups for the PWI client are not coming up. The launcher updates and then closes, but instead of going further, nothing happens at all. If I click on the patch file itself where it resides in my computer it says "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access them" (although I am the Admin on this PC so that can't be the issue.)

    The patch file does show up with a PWI icon if I right click my task bar icon for the launcher, but it does squat after the launcher updates it's files again.

    For some reason it is installing a Trojan Horse. Do not do manual patch like Sizzer said he obviously wants to **** your stuff. My anti virus removed PWI completely from my computer, so i re installed it. Only to have it do the exact same thing and delete PWI again. So please either wait to update and look for GMS to say something or keep tryin it. BUT DO NOT MANUAL PATCH IT there is a virus that keeps downloading with patch!!

    If u ain't getting the permission to access the patch file i guess you have to do this ,
    If on Windows Vista or 7, you may have to change the level of your UAC settings or turn them off temporarily. Do it and Try again .

    I am Admin in UAC in my Win7. It isn't a permissions issue, that I can find. It appears that the patcher cannot locate the appropriate file in the game client to update.

    Just run the directly from
    C:\Games\Perfect World Entertainment\Perfect World International\element\elementclient.exe
    (Note: This is the default location on your computer that the game installs to. It may be different if you changed it during installation.)

    Double-click on that u should be able to run multi-client.

    Problem Solved

    Manual patch file is corrupted? It won't load the .cup file at all (the launcher that is). Auto-update doesn't do anything either. Already tried a fresh install.

    Don't listen to this guy. The things Sizzer posed are legit. If you are having problems with virus protection software, try adding the file as an exception, or turn it off temporarily while you patch. Don't accuse when you don't have all the facts as this issue has been brought up in multiple other threads.

    The patch have no problem it is your anti-virus which is giving you a false positive about the patch file, Add PWI files/folders to exception list and u maybe have to disable your anti-virus/security/firewall in order to download,update,play the game .

    Yeah I saw your other posts on that. One problem, I'm running OSX 10.8.3. PWI is being run in Wineskin (as Crossover no longer supports it.) I can't find an anti virus program that is running on my mac.

    i did it with autopatcher and got the virus

    I did the same..opened client and allowed it to auto-patch itself. Had my antivirus quaranteen the file, which removed my shortcut from desktop and start menu. Even if you go in the folders and try starting from there it tells you that this file was virused and has been removed. I understand that implementing a large software update is complex, but I would have thought it would have at least been free of viruses before implemented...apparently not...now will have to download client again.

    I'm going to try turning my firewall off and see if that helps.

    Why would it say this everytime i try to install it regularlly?? i refuse to maual patch it becuase firewalls and things like that are there for a reason so if i manual patch can i persaonally sue you or sizzle to repair my laptop? i just say if u arent a GM u should not give advice. Cuz i still can not update the game?
