download issue with game

[JrSeasock]

just got a new laptop and I cant get the game to work. When I open the game it crashes right away saying there is a problem with it. when I downloaded the setup zip and ran it said " this installation package could not be opened, Verify that the package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid windows installer package".. so I have no idea what to do or what the issue is here any help will be helpful. thank you

Did you download 37.117 or 37.126 from on here?

[JrSeasock]

and cant get the other one to work either

Edit* think its missing files or an issue with the publisher maybe? really got no idea

Try the exe there and see if that works (you can download the content pack but it is not necessary.

same thing,

maybe an issue with the directX setup wizard ? that says there is a newer or equivalent version of direct x installed so it doesn't install anything. idk just a dumb idea to give you guys a better deal of whats going on. I still get that error that I first mentioned and then the game just crashs when I try to open it. like files are missing or something
