Launcher was updated but now it is not. ?

[Pavavion]

Not sure if anyone can help with my specific problem?

when i run my exe. file i get this message that pops up over the sign in screen

Interface/GlueXML/AccountLogin.lua:30
: attempt to call global
'IsStreamingTrial' (a nil value)

i can hit "okay" and then sign in. it allows me to and then it says patch required and so i hit "restart". The patch downloads in an instant cause i already downloaded it once.

but then this pops up... This update does not need to be applied. It requires version 3.0.3.9183 of "WoW.exe", but you already have version 3.0.8.9464.

however looking at my wow.exe shows that it is 3.0.3.9183 so i am really confused. my wow.exe is what it is supposed to be but it says it is not. i have linked files but this is my main directory and the one all others are linked to. this main folder is wow1. i noticed that somehow wow3 had a 3.0.8.something wow.exe and thinking that this might be the problem i just copied the main wow.exe from wow1 to wow3 so that both had wow.exe 3.0.3.9183. i then confirmed that all the wow folders had this wow.exe. I ran the whole sign in again and got this error message at the end (i got the same odd message at the beginning of the sign in screen) This update requires "World of Warcraft" version 1.0.0.0.

i used the wow repair function and before i used it the wow.exe said that the last date modified was a date prior today. after running the repair it said that wow was repaired and the date modified was changed to today. when i went to run wow i got the same initial message and the same message about needing version 1.0.0.0. what is that and how do i get it? my version of wow.exe says its wow.exe 3.0.3.9183
I checked my data file and it is not blank.

Anyone have a walk through that i can use to straighten this out? Worst case senerio how to i get it running again?

EDIT: i am using vista 64

I got EXACTLY the same issue, running vista 64 as well. I have only tried to update on the main install as the clones use symbolic linking. I have tried running both the launcher and just the wow.exe both as admin after a bliz repair to no success at all.
