The Launcher will take a bit longer than normal the first time you download a patch. The reason for that is that it is calculating checksums for all files in the install directory which is around 10GB. The results of this is then cached, so that the next time you install a patch, this will got a lot quicker.

I re-downloaded and still doesn't work.

Windows tells me the launcher is a 16-bit application and it won't work. Real.

Just what in the hell did you people even do to release a 16-bit patch utility with a slew of compatibility issues?

Where did you study software design? A university sophomore can do this, and if they did it this poorly, they'd fail the assignment.
