A Friend of mine is trying to download PWI and it will not download due to Pando. He already has pando downloaded into this computer and the download still fails. Error is : you system is currently not allowing PMB.EXE to run.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

he gets this:
This Downloader uses Pando Media Booster to download Perfect World International. When you use this Downloader, you install Pando Media Booster and participate in a secure, closed peer-to-peer network where you receive pieces of the download package from a Content Delivery Network (CDN) as well as other active users (peers). In addition you send pieces of the download package installer to other peers participating in the secure peer-to-peer network. No other files can be shared on your computer via Pando Media Booster and your computer is never used as a relay nor for transient storage of content you did not wish to download. More information about Pando Media Booster and how to manage it can be found at http://pandonetworks.com/pmb-faq . To accept the Terms of Use at http://pandonetworks.com/termsofservice, install Pando Media Booster and start the download click "I Agree".

    No, the torrent method is faster than the Pando method.

    Since you're having trouble clicking the link and reading the instructions, here they are.

    1. Download and install torrent software. (I recommend utorrent.)
    2. Click on the "Download Torrent" link on the Downloads page.
    3. Once the download is finished, go to the directory your completed downloads are in and you will see a file named "PWI_v658_Installer.rar".
    This is a compressed file. you will need something to unpack it. (I use ALZip)
    If you right-click on the file, there should be an option to "Extract to 'PWI_v658_Installer\'". Click that and it will unpack the file into a directory with the same name as the file.
    4. Temporarily disable the active scan for your antivirus software.
    5. Once the file is done unpacking, navigate to that folder. (Hint: It should be "Downloads\PWI_v658_Installer".
    6. In this folder there is a file called "install.exe". Run it. (If you have Vista or newer, right-click and choose "Run as Administrator.)
    7. Follow the directions to install the client.
    8. After the client is done installing, add the directory where it installed to the exceptions list for your antivirus software. (The default folder location is "C:\Perfect World Entertainment\Perfect World International")
    9. Launch the client using the icon that was placed on your desktop during the install and let it update.
    8b. Launch the client and then close it before it updates, and then download the manual patches and install them. (Manual method is about 80% faster than automatic.)
    10. Play


    Read step 1 carefully. >.<

    >.< Follow Step 1 in SylenThunders post that I quoted and you won't have this problem.

    Read the instructions thoroughly and follow them to the letter and you won't be making posts like that.
