Let me see if I can explain this clearly. I run two machines with 3 accounts on one and two on the other. These accounts are in separate folders know as CK CK1 CK2 etc. both machines run vista.

When it is patch time, I can patch one folder with no problems but when I go to patch the other folders the launcher will download ok but will then pop a error message saying that the patch is already downloaded.

To get myself around this problem I simply copy the successful wow folder that has downloaded the patch and then remake all my CK1 CK2 folders. This is time consuming and a right pain in the arse.

Is there a way around this apart from symbolic linking the folders?

Did any of that make sense?
