    Default Hey

    I downloaded the WoW client and everything, I can't play without having the Wrath of the lich king downloaded on because I own it now.

    Do i have to download the burning crusade also and then wrath of the lich king, or just the lich king?

    Lolwut. Just a few weeks back I thought I'd try something weird just for the heck of it and whaddoyaknow? It worked. I installed whole WoW just by installing it from the Lich King dvd's. Worked perfectly.

    Registry entries, patches and stuff.

    Installing in the wrong order can work, but it cannot work as well.

    Patches? You auto install all the patches when you install the first one.

    WotLK installs all patches from TBC, however if you install WotLK without TBC, you try to patch something that isn't there, in which most likely the installer will give an error message about missing files.

    Well I am going to re download them in order and without patching until they are all done. Is it okay if i delete the extra files it downloaded in the World of warcraft installer folder? It just shows installer exe file, installer tome 2, installer tome 3, etc...

    You have to install vanilla, patch that, install TBC, patch that and then finally install WotLK and patch that.

    You don't need to redownload them in order, if you just download the WotLK from the offical website it will include the rest.
    Are you EU or US.

    http://www.fileplanet.com/202681/200...ng-Game-Client

    It didnt work, so I am restarting it now and I know how to do it now. I am going to download the fileplanet version instead since the blizzard download manager says it requires 15gigs of free space again....

    When i download the fileplanet version, its about 6 gigs...is that about right? I think it includes the patches also, the latest patches, correct me if I'm wrong please.

    Also, how do i extract it or what ever when the download is done?

    (I can't send as I don't have WoW installed anymore.)
