Cant launch game from clicking on "play" on the game launcher on gw2

[jonneymendoza]

as the title says i cannot launch gw2.

i installed win 8 on saturday and gw2 ran perfectly fine over the weekend. nothing has changed today and actually just got back home to fire up gw2 and i can no longer play it due to the error below:
