Morning Vvalock and Timorleste,

Since the WotLK installer installs all 3 versions of the game, just use that installer and get rid of all the previous data. There are a number of things I could have you do including deleting preference files and resetting permissions, but ultimately the quick solution will create a cleaner end product...

In order to remove World of Warcraft safely from your system, please do the following:

1. go to your Macintosh HD => Applications folder (or wherever you saved the game) and move your World of Warcraft to the Trash
2. go to your Macintosh HD => Users => Shared folder and move the Blizzard folder to the Trash
3. go to your Macintosh HD => Users => your account => Library => Preferences and delete any files associated with WOW:
(some files may not appear due to non-use)

- com.blizzard.downloader.plist
- com.blizzard.Downloader.prefs
- com.blizzard.errorreporter.plist
- com.blizzard.Installer.plist
- com.blizzard.launcher.plist
- com.blizzard.World of Warcraft.prefs
- com.blizzard.World of Warcraft.survey.prefs

4. empty Trash

To reinstall the game, please do the following:

5. Install the Wrath of the Lich King from the DVD or downloaded installer, which will install the original World of Warcraft, Burning Crusade and the Wrath of the Lich King in one take.
6. patch to the latest version of the game

All installers can be downloaded from your account web site (you will need to log into your account):

Hello Timorleste,

The reason why you are getting the "no installer data can be found" is because the WotLK installer is trying to replace a preference file that needs to be deleted when you uninstall the game. Basically what you could have done is the following:

- go to your Mac HD => Users => Shared and delete the Blizzard folder run the InstallWoW.app to use the WotLK installer.

So are you back at getting the "Localization.xml" issue ?

For the issue you had previously:
