Client won't launch or patch

I posted about this problem on the tech support forum at WildStar but I often get help quicker from here than the official forums.

Played this morning, no problem. Between this morning's session and trying to patch up this evening:

(1) Updated Nvidia driver for GTA V

(2) W* went down for patch

I'm not sure whether (1) or (2) is the problem, or both.

When I first tried to patch, I got a "Failed!" message. I closed the client and tried again to run as administrator a couple more times and still got failed. I've restarted twice and now I'm getting the "Already updating this directory" system message when I try to launch the client.

I'm on the second day of my ten-day free trial and I really want to get back in game, so any help would be appreciated.

    I'm not sure this will help, but I did the patch while the server was down for maintenance. Have you tried the repair feature? On the game launcher there is a tool icon in the upper r/h corner. Repair is on the next page at the bottom.

    Death is nothing to us, since when we are, Death has not come, and when death has come, we are not.

    Are you using wildstar64.exe ? Alternatively try changing regions then after you patch change back.

    I can't get the client at all. I just get the system message straight away.

    I went into the game folder and found a new .exe file which I created a shortcut for and it worked.

    Yes that was why I was asking if you go to the folder there are two exe . You pick the other one and mine was wildstar64.exe and it worked. There is also another workaround which you can google but good that you solved it.
