QW doesn't install

Anyone else had this? I downloaded Quake Wars beta. Clicked on the setup file (there is only one file) and... nothing! My computer is loading, loading and then loading some more but not doing anything.

Could this be due to Windows Vista? Am I fucked? Am I cursed? Does QW hate me? Am I banned?

What is happening?

Anyway, anyone else had this problem? I rebooted and still didn't work. Clicked on the setup file half an hour ago and my pc is still loading and in windows explorer the 'loading' mousepointer is still there.

It's freaking me out.

Just saw the setup file I downloaded is a self extracting zip. So now I am manually extracting the file.
shakes man dude, relax

mine took a while too when he installs

it's a pretty big game, nothin compared to ET ...

so give your pc a chance :o
It works now. Manually extracted it. No idea why the self extractor didn't work. The real setup does work. Just saw the system requirements and they make me want to cry. I'm sure the game only looks 5% better than ET yet you need a 10 times better computer. Seriously, game developers suck.
Argh, can't alt-tab and my key doesn't work. Sigh.

Other one does work. Alt-tab doesn't work, minimizing for the win :(
Heh, myson!
Who's my daddy? :)
