Use my batch file to launch the game. Not sure which thread I posted it in so I’ll add it here again.
Just create a text file in notepad called wow.bat. (not wow.bat.txt!) Put this text into it and save. Double click this file on your desktop to launch wow. It will take care of everything and wont screw up the launcher should you restart it.
Edit the ‘wowpath’ as appropriate for your system.
@echo off
set wowpath=C:\Users\Public\Games\World of Warcraft\_retail_
echo ---
echo wowpath : %wowpath%
echo ---
taskkill /F /IM Battle.net.exe /T > nul 2>&1
taskkill /F /IM Agent.exe /T > nul 2>&1
attrib +R "%wowpath%\Logs\Hotfix.log" > nul 2>&1
attrib +R "%wowpath%\Logs\Tooltip.log" > nul 2>&1
start "" /B /WAIT "%wowpath%\Wow.exe"
attrib -R "%wowpath%\Logs\Hotfix.log" > nul 2>&1
attrib -R "%wowpath%\Logs\Tooltip.log" > nul 2>&1
exit
