quotDownload the game to start playing.quot
Hi, guys. I recently downloaded Maple onto my computer, and everything installed successfully. However, I log into the website to try to begin playing and it keeps saying "download the game to start playing" every time I click the "play" icon near my avatar. I've already reinstalled the game three times, and it keeps saying the same thing. Do you have any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks!

Thanks for the help, everyone. After trying a few of the things suggested here I got it to work.

Also, I'm just going to uninstall the game and try getting the installer from a mirror site to see if that works.[/quote]
Run > regedit > go to that...
[quote=thomas1985]Might wanna check your registry if you are comfortable doing that (always make a backup yadayada).
Find this key and make sure it contains a valid path to your Maplestory folder.

[quote=Dalsia]I just reinstalled it a 5th time, and now it's down to 2.7 GB. I watched the progress bar on the installation this time, and for some reason it said it was finished at item 46 of 63. I don't know if those last 17 items are so small that they can be installed that quickly, but I figured I'd mention it.[/quote]
Where did you get your installer for Maple?

@misterkills: I actually don't play PS's, and I haven't even played in months, but I did delete the entire folder, re-download and re-install three times in the past two days, and none of that has worked.
Also, I'm running the launcher as an administrator, so that shouldn't be an issue.
[quote=Dalsia]The game launcher didn't work either. It said "cannot find the installation path." I don't know how that's possible since the folder is 7 GB in size and has all of the components there.[/quote]
run it as administrator
