GLNW20002 Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 Old PC died, so I downloaded the new launcher onto new windows 8 PC, tracked down where it was saved to in the file structure, but can't find an .exe file to run the launcher from, or put a short cut onto the desk top.
Maxis010 Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 The file you downloaded from the site is the exe you need, it's not an installer, it's a launcher
GLNW20002 Posted June 15, 2013 Author Posted June 15, 2013 Thanks Maxis for your answer. - which gave me the clue to what I was doing wrong. Instead of selecting "Run" option, I have selected "Save", and the .exe file came into my Download bucket, which I could then put on to my Desktop. Now the Launcher works. What I was doing wrong was "running" the launcher off of the internet, so never found the .exe file. (most probably the wrong technical language)

You weren't running the file from the Internet, you were telling your browser to download the file, save it somewhere, and then run it on your local machine. Also "Download bucket"? You mean "folder".
