I can't help with the Vista side of things (shudder) but as far as your WTF folder is concerned, just keep your old one (or a copy - backups are guud!) and once you have finished the various jumping through hoops that Vista+WoW require (moving folders around), just copy your original WTF back over the top of the new one. Is there something special I should be doing at patch time? Like moving my wow directory out of Game Files and back to Program Files? If this is the case, how do I protect my UI and addons folders from the new wtf folder that is sure to be placed in there by the patch? I've not had to mess with it in a while, so I forget the details. Now, if anyone recalls I initially had problems with seeing the Addons button because I'm using Vista. After the download I got a message pop-up that said wow.exe could not be found. I went to log in tonight and auto downloaded the 2.2 patch. I get to the log-in screen, log on, and get to the screen which says Patch Required and restart. Either I click on the launcher and wow.exe is not found or I click on the game executable itself which is in my WoW folder which also contains the 2.2 paqtch - along with every other patch - and is itself within the Games Files folder. Since it says it will make a backup to include even the third party addons, I chose to repair and check as opposed to just checking the files.Īnd I'm back to square 1. It then gives me the option to repair the old patched game to include third party addons. (However the entire time that the Updater is running, I also have Windows Explorer open to show that there is absolutely nothing of WoW in Program Files. It gets about 95% done or so and is replaced by another Blizzard Updater box which states "The file "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Blizzard Entertainment\World of Warcraft\Uninstall.xml" could not be renamed to "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Blizzard Entertainment\World of Warcraft\". When I double-click on the file it appears to patch the game ok and I get to the log-in screen fine, but once there the game gives me a "Patch Required" message and tells me to press the restart button to exit and download the patch that I just applied!!Īfter I press restart, the patch gets automatically downloaded (even though I already have it) and a Blizzard Updater box appears with a "writing patch.file" progress bar at the bottom. So wasn't the answer supposedly to move it from wherever it downloaded to (assuming it wasn't in the Games Files folder) and move it to the Games Files folder? patch, I found it already in my Games Files folder as opposed to Program Files! I finally decided to try my hand at fixing it a bit but when I went to look for my already downloaded 2.-to-2. 25th and the 2.2 patch when MazzleUI went kaboom. Sorry to revive an old thread which appeared answered but I've yet to play again since Sep.
