I'm new to PWI, and I'm trying to download the client for the mmo.
After the installer processes, it downloads the Panda Media Booster for me,

However, after that, all it opens up is a notepad file that just reads:
[autorun]
open=Install.exe
icon=icon.ico

I have no idea what this means. b:angry

Tried downloading twice, I deleted PMB off of my PC and reinstalled, but same results.

    First of all uninstall Pando Media Booster basically it sux , Use Torrent method to download the game it's faster and more reliable , You may have to be on a Windows Admin account, or have Run as Admin access to be able to download, install, update, and run the game. If on Windows Vista or 7, you may have to change the level of your UAC settings or turn them off temporarily.

    At your own risk, you may have to disable your antivirus, firewall, and other security software temporarily while you download, install, update, login to, and play the game. Sometimes the security software will block it or throttle it, no matter what you try or even if you try to add exceptions for the game files in your security software.

    You're running the wrong installer obviously. The fake "Direct Download" isn't actually an installer, it just downloads the installation files. Go to the folder where they are located and run install.exe from there. This also you would have found the answers for if you had searched properly.

    Or, you could do the smart thing, click on the link of the post above yours, and follow the instructions to the letter. (It's amazing how many people don't follow the directions and then complain that it doesn't work.)
    Take the time to look for your answer before you post like an idiot.
