cannot launch game successfully

[byahshank]

so i downloaded the game as a torrent, and placed it onto my E drive. It naturally created a folder and i never extracted anything... i placed the launcher inside the folder with all the other files, but cant launch the game and keep getting the following error:

Error starting: System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path 'E:\WARHAMMER\Warhammer Online - Age of Reckoning\WAR.exe' is denied.
at System.IO.__Error.WinIOError(Int32 errorCode, String maybeFullPath)
