Ok. i have a problem. every time i try to download the wow battlechest. it gets to around 19% and says failure. Every time. Im on windows vista 32 bit. Any suggesions. This video didnt help either

[MrShadythe2nd]

i got wow the other day and installed it. the day i bought it, all of the servers were down for maintenance so i had to wait untill the next day. the next day, i signed in and it said " you do not have a game with your account" i was like " what does that mean?" i then looked at the wow sign and it said,"WOW Rise of the Lich King" meanwile, i bought wow 1 and not 3. how do i install itthe right way. if installed it twice and the same thing has happened. i am new to this game as well. help!!

[j0kickaess]

well, basically i downloaded wow 1 on my PC (vista home premium) and did all that. i log on to my ac, and it "downloads a patch". after completeing that, it makes me restart wow. it then downloads ANOTHER patch, which takes 2 hrs for my crappy internet. ok, done that THEN it wants me to install the WHOLE wow over the internet, which would take me a couple of days, and even then idk if it would work. is there any way to remedy this?

[koolmk607]

k so i bought the wow battle chest comes with wow its self and the burning crusade hasnt come in yet but all i have to do it put the disk in the slide on my comp and just download it from there corret? after that i have to download the patches, and the addon's im told corret? somenoe please reply :/

[MsGameGod]

The file "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Blizzard Entertainment\World of Warcraft\Uninstall.xml.temp" could not be created. If this problem persists, you may be able to solve it by uninstalling and then reinstalling the game. If you are unable to correct this problem, please contact Blizzard Technical Support. (InstallerFile::Create)

You need patch? click the wow launcher.

[jackson18t]

[sexualfavors]

This is one of the exact same steps that Blizzard sends you in their canned helpdesk response to any ticket you submit for problems.

... that, and it doesn't fix the error about "Failure to read from the internet." that pops up when the installer is trying to connect... dang installer stinks!

[ashaudi8]

[commodore256]

31,000 fucking views and you don't have a fucking microphone! How is this a relevant tutorial.

If you were were looking for a guide on youtube, you would expect the first person to have a fucking microphone so why are you doing this to everybody?

Either make a tutorial with a microphone or don't make one at all.

[nikkis970]

Lol shut up this helped me!

You wont need a microphone, maby he's voice is so bad that people would hate that and this will go like this too, And maby you can't read? lol

[LRbugger]

I have this problem where I have got a new computer and I left WoW about half a year later, and now that I have a better computer I want to get back into it. So I went onto the website and pressed the Lich King ten day trial. I installed Wow and BC. Then when i logged into wow it says i need an update, then it takes me outta wow and says i need to install burning crusade, even though I had done so already. It is really annoying, so I need help. Can anyone help me?

[FahedBozaghlan]

same with me -_- and I hate the slow installing too , I have a 1 tera HD and 4 gb rams and I need 45 min to install wow , this is crazy :P

[FahedBozaghlan]

[Zlayer1337]

[Thiagoroots93]

You just need to free some space on your hd, deleteing some files. ;D

[warhawk145]

oh i forgot on windows vista you can also right click on wow launcher and click on "run as administrator" hope this works : )

[warhawk145]

no need to this over again windows vista released a patch lately so you dont need to do the safe mode run anymore (im just saying maybe im wrong maybe im right)

[AUTubeN22]

or install software for older windows? from the help windows

[AUTubeN22]

why not try help support and install software the previously worked? the only thing is the amount of patches from 08 to 09 300 to 309

[MovieBlooper99]

Ok, ill try. I'll post if it worked later :P

[feind232]
