I recently reinstalled windows xp and im trying to get WoW back on my computer. I went through all the installation and then it came up with Blizzard Launcher must be in same folder as game and some other crap. So i uninstalled it and reinstalled 2 more times no help. Any ideas?
 
Hmmm, my only guesses are administrative permission on the account, and making sure there's not already another copy of Blizzard Launcher saved on the OS, even though you just reinstalled Windows XP. Did you reformat the HDD before reinstalling?
 
Have you tried the repair tool?
Are you running Vista+? Vista and higher require the directory to be in a public folder for update reasons.(I think it should do this by default on a fresh install though)
I had a problem once that I had to stop after every install(Vanilla, BC, and Wrath) and update the install then keep going.
If all else fails if a friend lives close by and plays WoW you could just go copy and past there WoW directory. (If no one lives near you I'm willing to rip my install to 4 DVD's and mail them to you)
 
Come find me on STEAM and we'll Teamview again. :)
I'll get it running for you.
 
I don't know if you have fixed it yet, but I got it too back when I was playing WoW. And I found out that, if you have been playing wow before, uninstall it and re-innstall it on the same computer.. there are some files left. When you uninstall it, it doesn't remove all files. There are some files you need to delete by yourself. I found this out to late, I had already bought new WoW discs and it worked fine then.

Good luck with your problem :)
