always patch just your main copy of wow through the loader. then copy the new loader.exe and wow.exe to your symlinked wow's and everything will go smoothly.
This worked, and I didn't have to run any Repair.exe, or any long term things. HEre's it re-written in more plain english.



1) Delete the symlinked folders in your SLAVES FOLDERS. They should delete instantly as they are only re-directories, and don't contain any material themselves.
2) Go into your main folder for WoW and run Launcher.exe... let it update.
3) Symlink everything back up. However you do it.
4) Go into your main folder for WoW and Right-Click and Copy both Launcher.exe and WoW.exe ( they should be like 16mb each or so )
5) Go into each Slaves folder and Right-Click and Paste. When prompted, "Copy + Replace" over the current launcher.exe and Wow.exe



Seems even though you symlinked the new data +interface back up with the updated one. The launcher.exe and wow.exe are new too or something, so they must also be replaced.
