Hello,
I have this issue when ive finished downloading, it wont start installingen because;

Patch could not be applied
The file "C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\Data\enGB\backup-enGB.MPQ.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)

any ideas?
cheers

Q u o t e:
Posted prematurely, found a fix.
For people that have the same issue(windows 7 only afaik):
-> Right clich your installer or wow.exe
-> Run as administrator
-> Have fun watching it install


This should solve it in the majority of cases
