Setup for Duke3D will not start on my system :( I run it as administrator, 6 GB of ram.
When I click it, I get the windows hour glass for a microsecond, the nothing. Nothing in the task bar, nothing in the task manager, no process in processes.
I've tried to set it in compatibility mode to XP and anything below, but no luck. It won't start.

The installer won't start, is that it ?
Any chance your AV is getting in the way ?
Well, yes, gotta have antivirus :P
Got AVG 9.0 running. I'll see if I can get it shut down...

Yes, we gotta have them ;)
Don't forget to re-enable AVG once you're done testing the issue.

I will
I do however see that the Descent 3 + Exp.pack won't start either, but when attempting to start that results in an error message. Not much help in that though, the usual "has encountered a problem and needs to close." message.
Will try to start in safemode, see if that helps.
EDIT: It might also be a corrupted download. I redownloaded the Duke3D setup, and now it gives an error message of corrupted setup files. I'll try again without the downloader! :)
EDIT2: Yep, currupted download with the downloader. Downloading from browser goes well, it's installed now :) I won't use the downloader again :P
EDIT3: And playing!! :D Problem solved!

That's great.
Some people have better luck with the browser others prefer the downloader.
The site will be updated in a while, maybe the downloader will be updated aswell.
In any case, welcome to gog ;)
