I've just bought a new gaming computer, with playing Witcher 2 specifically in mind lol!

I backed up the download from my old computer onto an external hardrive ready to re-install on the new one.

When I double click the set-up application file, it gives me this:
'Cannot open file.
[filelocationblahblah.bin]'

I'm definitely, 100% clicking the .exe file for the application, but it's telling me it can't open it because it's .bin

There's probably some really simple solution that I'm missing here, but I'm tearing my hair out - desperately want to play this game D:

Thanks!

The exe file is what opens the bin files.
Do you have file extensions turned on so you can see you're clicking the setup_the_witcher_2.exe file and not one of the setup_the_witcher_2.bin files?

Yeah, I do - that's what I thought I had made a mistake doing the first time. I even opened the properties of the file and it's DEFINITELY the .exe application file, not the .bin ones...
Then one of your bin files must be corrupt.
You'll most likely have to download again.

Yeah, I had a bad feeling it might come to that :( Ah well, thanks for the help - looks like I'll just have to wait even longer to play this haha!

You have the installer .exe and .bin files all in the same folder ?
