WoW Not Found
I've got the Blizzard Updater downloaded. I placed both the application and the 2 .mpq files into my wow directory which happens to be

C:\World of Warcraft\

When I run the updater it gives me an error saying that the game cannot be found and I must check to see its properly installed. I'm not sure how I should be going about attempting to correct this.

Oh, I use win7 RC 7100.

So, you're trying to log into the PTR? You'll need to download the PTR and install it separately from your normal WoW client.

Re: WoW Not Found
Did you install your normal wow client normally or was it moved after its installation? It sounds like there are registry keys that aren't pointing to the correct directory for your clients.

Q u o t e:
It was copied over to the main hard drive after I did the new win7 install. It's the same game files I've been using since my original installation on XP a couple years ago. I just keep moving it around and I've never run into the problem with the updater apps previously. With that being said, I proactively started re-installing the game fresh from the dvds to see if that corrects it. I'll update you in this thread if it does so you can be confident it was a complication due to migration of the game files from previous installations.


Normally the game creates new registry keys when its run, but I'm not sure if this would be the same for Windows 7 right now. If you wanted to post on the tech support forum, they could likely help you make sure that is the issue.

No problem, I'm glad it worked out.
