What am I missing?

I've downloaded and renamed the file New-wow.ps1, downloaded PowerShell (v1). I fire up PowerShell and I am lost from there. I have attempted to paste the file name to the default directory (C:\Users\Administrator) and got an error. I went to the directory where New-Wow.ps1 is saved, did a paste of the name and a " \run New-Wow.ps1" as well as " run new-wow.ps1" and got an error.

Thank you Chorizotarian for your work on this script! I am running Windows Vista 32 Ultimate Edition currently and I was able to get the script running by doing the following:



  1. Made a directory called c:\bin
  2. Added c:\bin to Control Panel->System and Maintenance->System->Advanced System Settings->Environment Variables->PATH.
  3. Renamed New-WoW.text to New-WoW.ps1 and saved it in the c:\bin directory
  4. Downloaded Windows PowerShell V2 and installed it. I received a corrupt data error when I tried to run version 1 for Vista.
  5. Launched PowerShell V2 in command line mode and ran Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted. I received an error with the RemoteSigned option, I belive it is a problem with this version of the software.
  6. Ran New-Wow c:\wow1

The script created the directory flawlessly! I think my next challenge will be to work with Octopus with a 2 account setup.
I followed Steps 1-3 and attempted to do the same paste of name as well as the two types of " /run " "run" command attempt I had done earlier (in the c:\bin folder). I got an error all three times. Note: When I did Step 2, "Path" was already there as the Variable name and had a Variable Value which I then replaced the value field with " c:\bin " . I saved the old value to a notepad incase I'd need to revert to the old variable value.


I run Vista 64bit with WoW saved to ( c:\program files (x86)\world of warcraft). I run four wow instances on this machine and use my 5th account on my second machine. In the future I forsee running all five accounts on this machine with combinations of 5x shaman and will look to running tank/healer, 3x dps for 5mans.

My Questions would be:

-What am I doing wrong?

-To run the script, do I need to move my WOW folder to ( c:\wow1) and make additional wow2-5 in my c:\? I made wow1-5 under my C:\Program Files (x86) folder.

-Is there any way to link two accounts to one folder and three to the other? Tank/healer accounts on one folder, three dps accounts on a second folder. After typing this question out, I'd figure it would just be two links total and keeping the two or three accounts within the corresponding folders.
