Is there an alternate way to download and install ex1-2015.07.30.0000.0001?

I found the following site which addressed a similar problem.

I navigated to c:\Program Files (x86)\SquareEnix\FINAL FANTASY XIV - A Realm Reborn\boot
and set every .exe file I found to run as Administrator.
I then run the ffxivboot.exe file and it updated successfully.

I already have all .exe as "administrative" files. I even created a thread about it before. Not working for me. EVERY darn patch is a darn fail for SE. I dunno why I pay for this shit... Q___Q In short - it won't update no matter what I do

I tried to download the game anew. What do u think launcher told me? Unable to update patch files. Really? I browsed internets again, turned off all the guards, tried some Win stuff, router stuff - IT JUST WON'T DOWNLOAD.

I began experiencing issues since upgrading to Windows 10 (from Win 7).
I had my Hotbars and Gear sets not saving but read a post about setting "write" permissions to a folder, and now this.
I wonder if this is a Windows 10 thing that hasn't been fully worked out by SE.

im getting the launcher error [30413] and [20496] on both of my computers a laptop (which usually has no probs) and a desktop pc (which screws up every patch- was only able to get it just to work again a few weeks ago).my game was working on both my pcs before this patch. so yep im kinda sick of this crap. i love this game but its a battle each day to get it working

Sounds more like environment specific issues than game design...make sure you are launching as admin, add exceptions for the files/folders in your security apps--don't forget to create exceptions for the running processes also. Many security programs also have a section for managing network access after an executable is launched as well, so it sometimes isn't enough to just add the flat file.

Edit: and don't forget to check Windows Essentials/Defender...many don't even know about them.

Some of you may also want to open resmon and catch the akamai address you are trying to download from and test the stability of your route to the server...there may be something odd going on between you and Cambridge.

And Win10 is still not officially supported...SE has made at least two announcements that they are still testing. Word is already out that Microsoft is planning a major update to the OS this fall (think it was October?). Microsoft is giving us a year to get the free upgrades...why the rush to move to a new environment already known to have issues?

Im javing the same issue. I tried reinstalling but the installer has the same issue
