Title says it all, essentially.

I have downloaded (preloaded) the game from GoG Downloader in the past days and the last chunk this morning.
Now I'm trying to install all this stuff but when the isntallation is complete and i try to launch the game I have this error pop-up telling me there is no Launcher.exe.

I've checked the game folder myself and in fact I have only one damn exe in the whole thing, which is the uninstaller.

Verwandlung: I have the same problem.
oh well, at least I'm not alone. So it isn't strictly my fault, somehow.

If you wait long enough the game will link itself with the wrong game.
Mine choose Amnesia.
When I try launching the witcher 2 steam opens and starts installing Amnesia

LOL

Ok, I found a workaround.

You have to download both the last chunck of the download and the executable (they are 160 MB and MB circa, not sure of which one is really essential) and replace those downloaded by the GoGdownloader, which obviously must broken, at this point.

Do you still have the last .bin and .exe files somewhere (the ones the Downloader downloaded)? If so, please send me a PM with the exact filesizes of these ones and the ones you got from the website.

As for the problem, it may be a file hosting issue - I will put a request to purge these files from our file hosting provider's cache just in case.

It's also possible that some overzealous anti-virus program finds a false positive in the Launcher and doesn't allow you to install it, perhaps even without your knowledge. If redownloading the files doesn't help, try disabling your AV software for the duration of the installation.

Glad GOG is looking into this.
I downloaded all the files using the browser option.
I have uninstalled the game and deleted the files, I'm now downloading the game again using the GOG downloader.
