So next thing I did was log onto my user account control panel in the main site and downloaded InstallWoW.exe and selected WotLK to be downloaded.
The installer works fine in the beginning but it reaches a stage (completely random for different tries) where it stops giving an error:
"Failed to create install files. Please close all applications and try again".
I have gone through a lot of threads and tried the following offered solutions:
1. Deleted all temporary files
2. Tried it in safe mode.
3. Tried closing all unwanted applications.
4. Tried moving my WoW folder to "Public" and placing InstallWoW.exe inside my WoW folder.
5. Tried all of the above together.
I have tried the downloader like 20 times so far, but all I get is this same error again and again at different stages. Any definitive solution for this? PLEASE help.
Oh - and I am using Windows Vista
