You get to wait it out. What you downloaded will do the installation for you, it just takes forever and a day to get it all.
If it were me I'd find someone with a large enough flash drive to copy the installation cd or dvd onto (whichever you have) and install it from there. If you have another computer around that is connected to the same network your netbook is, put the CD/DVD in the drive and share the drive out then install it over the network. If you do this I'd recommend making sure both computers are connected to the network with ethernet cables.
If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

Well that would be a good idea except I'm at college and my installation disk is 600 miles away. Looks like I'm just going to have to wait it out.

Before I ask my question I want to make it clear that this might be a very stupid question.
So I just unboxed a brand new netbook running windows 7 (Don't worry, it may be small but it packs enough punch to run CoH), and since it lacks a physical disk drive I went to the NCsoft website and downloaded the PC client. Thing is, there was no installation bit. It just went right to the updater. Now it is downloading right now, but it seems to be taking a hell of a long time (8.4K per second). So I'm just wondering, will I have to wait out this entire download, or did I miss a step somewhere?
