I had the same problem after downloading. I had to go into the folder "Pw_Descent_Installer" and click the "install" application. It went through the process an seems to be working fine now.
Maybe this will help you.0 -
Actually...I'm having the same problem. I click download, and right when it says calculating time remaining, it vanishes and the notepad pops up saying auto run as the title. In the page it says: [autorun]
open=Install.exe
icon=icon.ico
A little help would be nice. Just spent 20 dollars on the game and can't even do anything with it now. o_o0 -
I am having the same problem the download only opens a notepad document0

So... i've tried to install the game several times and keep getting the Autorun Notepad popping up as well... I had an older version of the game on my computer but it couldn't find the server to update patches. When I tried to manually download the patches I couldn't find old enough versions so Ms. Smartypants decided to uninstall then reinstall the game. Now it won't download at all. Does anyone have any suggestions or answers as to what I should do next? I see alot of posts about this issue but not any answers how to fix it. Please help!0

Un-install Pando Media Booster, reboot your PC, and try again.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]0 -
I'm having a problem installing the game on my sister's laptop. I do get the notepad showing the Autorun. So I go and get the install.exe in the folder itself but it doesn't launch anything at all. Been trying many different ways to install it and it never works. Any one know what I could possibly do to fix this issue?0

When someone figures out how to get PWI to download, please post something here. I have tried everything I have found and nothing works. I keep getting the same thing: a white box with 2 short lines of nothing of any use. Thanks to whoever figures this out.0

Try uninstalling Pando, and reinstalling the game, or installing the newer game client.
You can also consider install the Pando Media Booster directly from them to see if that helps.

How do you go into the folder?
I mean, I get a red dragon icon instead of a folder, with the same name. "Pw_Descent_Installer"
It opens the downloader or installer, whichever, and goes to notepad.0 -

Ok, highlight and copy the file PWI_Descent_Installer from this post, then click on start, and paste this into start. a folder should come up. click on it. then look for install. there will be several there, look for the one that looks like a closed box. Double click, then follow the directions given to you.
hope this helps out b:pleased0 -
I tried searching for "Pw_Descent_Installer" but got nothing, i downloaded this two days ago. any tips?0
-
This happened to me as well. I shredded the files and started over, but this time I saved it directly to my desktop. Once I saved it there, I opened the folder up and there was an install application that you can manually click. There may be ones that look similar, but I used the one with the golden box and ran as admin. It worked for me. Just make sure you verify your files on start up as well. (:0

Just use "Decent" in your search.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]0 -

FWIW The Directory was created on the desktop and called "PWI_v621_Installer" on my machine.
Installation failed due to data2.pck being reported as being corrupt ... a repeated download after deletion of the first download produced the same result.
How do I get the program to install?
BTW this is a reinstallation on a new machine.

all you have to do is go to the PW_v621_Descent thing or whatever, double click it, itll open and inside are a bunch of folders. Theres one that says 'Install' (the icon is a gold looking box) click that. Should install itself. Takes a minute0 -
Thank you, this helped me a lot. I found the install app inside the folder and was able to move forward after getting the notepad autorun. Frustrating to say the least after waiting so so long for the dl to finish. b:victory0

This game doesn't seem worth all the trouble it is to just get it to run and it seems to have WAY too many downlooad issues. You would think they would have realized this and made a better way to download it and/or just fix it altogether.0

I'm looking for the Pw_Descent_Installer, but all I have is a PWI_v636_Installer.exe, and that's not a folder I can open and select the "install". Did I download the wrong thing? It's exactly what I got from when I started my account- and it said PWI Decent in the background..
Could someone give me a link to where I can get the Pw_Descent_Installer folder to prevent the notepad popup and play the game?0 -

ok you run the PWI_v636_Installer.exe. It installs Pando Media Booster, which then downloads the folder with all of the install files.
It's basically broken, so instead of running install.exe, ir runs autorun.inf. (because the installer is written like it's supposed to be on a disk for some stupid reason.)
When you begin the download, Pando asks you where you want to save the files. That is where your directory you are looking for is.
Last I checked, the default was to place the folder on your desktop.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]0 -
[autorun]
open=Install.exe
icon=icon.ico
ok i tried all the above and it still did not work so i reformatted my hard drive b:shocked, but my luck,, even after reformat its still not working b:cry any other thoughts ?
game version 551
