The shortcut links to launcher.exe. Change it to go to wow.exe by right clicking it, hitting properties, and change the final part of the path from WoW/launcher.exe to WoW/wow.exe. Then you'll be good to go.
Good news. I have Linux now. So, I'm putting up Linux support here as well.
yea i need some major help setting this thing up i've deleted all the cache files, patched it to 3.3.2, but my computer (toshiba laptop running windows vista) wont recognise c:\program files\WOWID\WoW.exe as a directory name to create a short cut too and when i go searching for this file in my WOW program files i cant find it at all... does anyone have any suggestions that might work?
Well, if you installed it and everything, then it should be located in "C:/Program Files/World of Warcraft/WoW.exe".
If you can't find that, do a search for "wow.exe" in Windows Explorer, and that should hopefully bring something up. If not, reinstall.
I've edited the realmlist as instructed an am using the direct Wow.exe file to open the game, but when i log in it becomes stuck at connecting and eventually says unable to connect? any ideas?
Isn't the version 3.3.5a(build 12340) right now?
Yes, it is, I just forgot to update it.
Ok...so i'm on windows vista, for reference.
my game is on version 3.3.3a. I can't update to 3.3.5a. It keeps loading the bar then says "update failed" with not explanation.
Hey guys. I haven't been on for ages but today I got the old cravings. But now I can't log on :'(
I've doublechecked the realmlist and I quite sure I have the 3.3.5a version. I can start the game but when I type in name and password a pop-up sais there not valid. Help?
Have you
created an account? We switched emulators, requiring that all players recreate their accounts, characters, profiles -- the whole kit 'n' kaboodle!
Hey all, I switched my Realm-lists but when I attempted to log on, it gave me the "Account username and password incorrect." So, i'ma thinking I did something wrong.
You need to create a forum account.
Go to the main menu and click on Account Management.

Lol I'm back at it trying to connect after my bro took wow off his comp. Any ways Macintosh wise, if I keep getting instantly disconnected from the server when in game, and trying to connect what should my first step be.
Um, i tried to re-patch, but deleting the Patch.MPQ and useing repair didn't do it. Um..Ideas? I'm terrible at computers!
I'm on Windows Vista and I'm at patch 3.2.0 right now. When I try to patch to 3.3.0, it loads to about 2% and then talks about an error that it couldn't read some file. I tried running repair, but that didn't do anything about it. Help please.
