Please run your retail launcher.exe and then try opening the updater again. If you're on Windows Vista, right click the launcher and run as admin.

Part of this problem is that the PTR updater looks for WoW registry keys for installation paths. If you ever move your wow folder, or those keys are never made correctly because it wasn't run as an admin, you'll run into this issue.

Q u o t e:


That did not help on Mac OS - it still says Not Authorized. Is there something else I should try?


What screen are you receiving an error "Not Authorized" on?
