wut i don understand is y people have to wait i fiound copies of agusts/september issues in local stores

I assume Firebat was talking about the retail release, I certainly was. I got the demo in September PC Powerplay in Australia.

The official date for retail release is August 16th. Official dates are very rarely worldwide however. Certain places can wait up to 3 months to get games released and in Australia many console games never get released.

This is understandable when you have multiple publishers & distributors, but DS2 is being published by Microsoft. So there should be no practical reason why the retail release couldn't be worldwide (but they would come up with a reason).

Are you running winXP?

That seems the best reason why it isn't working. According to the system requirements I've seen, DS2 requires Windows XP service pack 1.

With the demo I got, when I clicked on install in the magazine's browser, a folder window appeared & I had to click on setup from the list of files in the folder. Installation was fast and easy (especially seeing the difficulty you have with some demos).
