I ran as Admin the first time (and then just kept signing back in to make it restart), but after reinstalling this last time I'm trying it without this time but don't expect different results. It's at 500 MB so I'll know in about a gig... running out of ideas and fixes, may just have to wait for SE's dumb ass to fix it

i solved it!!

This is how I solved that problem:
1. Check your folder there C:\Program Files (x86)\SquareEnix\FINAL FANTASY XIV - A Realm Reborn (for Windows 7), and right click on it.
2. Click on Property, General, and uncheck the "Read only" line at the bottom of the window.
3 Press OK, and then open your folder "boot".
4. Right click on ffxivlauncher.exe, Properties, Compatibility
5. Activate Windows XP compatiblity mode

My DL and installs immediatly ran flawlessly once I did this, I hope that'll help.
Also, be sure to run as Administrator, still by right-clicking the ffxivlauncher, "Run as administrator".

Good luck!
