I'm not in the BETA, so what's stopping me from installing Galaxy 2.0 if I just so happen to find a setup file somewhere online?

Your email address.

It's an online install too.

So it should be complicated to enjoy the closed beta.

Nothing is stopping you from installing it, you can even log in if you know how to. But you won't be able to use it and it's features properly as long as your account is not flagged for the closed beta.

Your account must be flagged for Closed Beta but installing it won't blow up your computer, that's for sure! :)

Keep in mind that installing the 2.0 beta client will uninstall the 1.x client. So you'll end up with a beta client you can't login to and no way to use the 1.x client.

That's not true. I have two GOG installations now. The usual old GOG launcher in its default "GalaxyClient" folder and the new GOG 2.0 in the new default "GOG Galaxy" folder. Two seperate installations. I can still start the old launcher (or the new).

When I installed the 2.0 client it didn't give me the chance to customize the installation directory and any attempt to open the old launcher just opened the 2.0 client.

I suppose it's possible the 2.0 client updated path in the shortcut in my Start menu. I never checked the actual installation directory to see if it was still there.

Thanks for correcting my mistake.
