Thank you very much for your reply but altough you are right about the Gw2.tmp file which exists in there,there is also another file named Gw2.exe so i can't rename it twice.

Delete Gw2.exe, then rename Gw2.tmp to Gw2.exe.

When Gw2.exe is updated, it downloads the new version of Gw2.exe to Gw2.tmp, then launches Gw2.tmp and finishes the update by renaming itself (Gw2.tmp) to Gw2.exe. When this last step fails, Gw2.exe is left as a 0 byte file while Gw2.tmp is ~30 MB (because it's the actual Gw2.exe).
