Guild Wars 2 Won T Download
What is strange is that when I tried playing this game on a similar system it worked fine. The other notebook also had 2GB of ram but
had a slower AMD A4-1200 processor with AMD Radeon HD 8180 video card.
Also the other strange thing is that the older model of this Toshiba notebook that had a Intel N2820 processor worked fine on Guild Wars 2 so I don’t know why the newer N2830 won’t work. I wonder if the game is having problems? Will it be fixed soon?
The model of the new notebook I have is C55-B5299
Specs of new PC
Intel Celeron N2830 dual-core 2.41gHz
2GB DDR3 1333mHz can go up to 8GB
5ooGB hard drive
Intel HD Graphics
Windows 8.1 with Bing
Once completed, double click Guild Wars 2 Repair to start the download. Once the game has been fully downloaded, the client will exit back to Windows. When you are ready to play, simply double click on GW2.exe to start the game.
During the install, Guild Wars 2 required administrator privileges. Since I didn't want to give them, I installed it to another computer, and moved the files.
When I run it, it again asks for root access. In this case, I can simply cancel, but I get this window:
- » Guild Wars 2 » Can't download the GW2 client. So I've done a format on my computer, or whatever it's called, and I'm trying to download the Guild Wars 2 client again. I went to account management and downloaded the file 'Gw2Setup', but when I launch the setup the launcher pops up and after a few seconds I get the message.

It shouldn't need root, it has no reason to. Can I get around this issue, without allowing administration privileges?

There is a GW2 forum post with some details
Basically the game needs admin access to update itself because it is writing to the application folder.
