I have seen this same problem on other post about the download from turbine website. I will see if i can find the solution they came up with on the turbine forums.

EDIT: I can't find the post I was thinking of. Do you have another computer you can download it to then transfer it via flash drive, network, or dvd?

How you are saying it's happening makes no sense whatsoever.


Once the file is completely downloaded, it should just sit there and wait for you to do something with it. It should not be talking about whether or not it's compatible with Windows or not.


What browser are you using to download the install file? Do you have any 3rd party download managers running? What size is the install file once it's completely downloaded? Can you right click on the install file and run it as Administrator?


The install file itself doesn't check which particular version of Windows you are running and plenty of people, myself included, run AC on Windows 7 just fine.



Unsane, i am using IE, no 3rd party download managers running at all from what i know, i did not download any being it is a new laptop. ThI download the file ac1install.exe to c:\games\ac1installer.exe. Just finished downloading ac1install.exe the size of file after downloading is 470kb. File is in c:\games\ac1install.exe, i right click on the file and run as admin, security window pops up asking if its ok if this program is safe, after pressing yes nothing happens....

It doesn't matter where you download the file to so much as where you install AC to. But at least you are paying attention.

470kb? Not 470MB? If so, that's part of the problem. I have the file and it's 463MB. Which would basically mean that it didn't download properly for you before. If it's not downloading properly with IE, I would seriously give another browser a try.
