I've been searching all over the forums and the same issue keeps coming up.
Osu! cannot be downloaded/installed on Windows 7 64-bit versions.
I've never had Osu downloaded, and have never played it, and finally that I got a new laptop, I decided that I should download it. I've tried the download multiple times, and everytime I 've tried it stopped at 4.0 mb. So I downloaded it from another site, and I had everything in, but when I tried to run Osu, it said that the file was not supported by my system. I looked around, and found many other people with win7 64bit had the same thing happen to them.
The solution to that was just to install Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0, but even then most of these people did not get any results, and ended up just giving up on Osu.

I believe that maybe a new version of Osu should be developed, or found, that can be installed and run stably on win7 64bit. Maybe this should have been posted on the help forum, but I think it fits better here. Osu should be developed so that all of us that have this sort of system can download, install, and play it, and not have to give up midway because of so many complications.

Never had a problem running osu! on Win7 64 bits.

Can you give more details about your win7 version? starter? language? try to download the installer from this web page, if it keeps breaking try another PC and copy it over yours with an USB.

NET framework is not needed because its already included with Win7.

Screenshots, system specs, and the actual error usually helps in deducting what the exact problem is.

That being said, I can't replicate your problem, as I (as well as several other people in this thread) run osu! on Windows 7 64bit systems without problem.

The fact that it doesn't download has nothing to do with your os being 64 bit end of story besides for games 64bit windows runs everything 32bit windows does.
You could try downloading it on another computer or if you want to I am sure someone is willing to post a the file mirrored on mediafire or something like that if you want.
side note doesn't this belong in help and support.

This, why would the problem be osu! if it stops downloading at 4 MB? More likely a network issue.

At first my osu! did keep crashing, too. But i solved it by running the updater (osume.exe) manually. Maybe try that.

Have you tried re-downloading? Maybe the installer is corrupt?

Make sure you delete the installer and clear browser cache before you re-download. Sometimes if a file already exist it doesn't really overwrite even if you tell it to.

EDIT: And make sure you got .Net Framework 2.0 installed.

1. Windows Installer problem ?.?
If your OS is Win7 SP1, must not have this problem, because are using Windows Installer 4.5.

2. If .NET Framework 2.0 not worked, try to install 4.0 ? Maybe can solve the problem.

(3. UAC - -?)

just install osu! using this updater:
http://osu.ppy.sh/release/osume.exe
place this file where you want osu! to be installed and run it

The updater will DL the entire (osu) game until it detect you have not some or all osu file.
