    The Perfect World beta installer is a bit... goofy. If you use the Direct Download, you want to follow the following steps :

    1. The link on our webpage itself gives you the Perfect_World_Downloader_v3.exe file. It's a small (~1.0 megabyte) download. It'll download to whatever location your web browser defaults to.

    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.

    If you used the Torrent download, you'll need to check your torrent client to figure out where it drops things.

    You'll want to search for the Perfect_World_International.exe or Perfect World International.exe file.

    I had that happen to. All that was on the desktop was the stupid installer icon. Couldn't even find it in the hdd files.

    So what I did was click on the installer icon and it will tell you where it wants to save. For me it was in documents, and downloads.

    So I just clicked start, clicked on my documents, clicked on the downloads folder, and BAM, their it was. Hope ya get it running.
