I found a website to do symlinks (how-to geek) and ran
PHP Code:
C:\mklink /D C:\wow2\Data C:\Program Files (x86)\World of Warcraft\Data
I also linked the Cache, Interface, Screenshots folders and copied all the files in the main WOW directory except the patch/downloader files (patch# to patch#-enUS-downloader(patch).exe) type files. After doing this I made a shortcut of the Wow.exe file and double clicked on the shortcut... I got:
" Failed to open archive interface.MPQ: The system cannot find the file specified" and got stuck. Someone in [Other] Winbolic Guide - Symlinking for XP had the same error but there were no further replies on that thread :wacko:
I went back to Powershell and New-wow.ps1 figuring spacing might help in the ps1 file, renamed my "wow2-4" folders and went into the new-wow.ps1 file and changed:
PHP Code:
"$env:ProgramFiles\World of Warcraft"
to:
PHP Code:
"c:\Program Files (x86)\World of Warcraft"
I got to c:\bin and did the " Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned" I ran "c:\Bin> new-wow c:\wow2" in powershell. I end up getting an error:
PHP Code:
At c:\bin\New-Wow.ps1:86 char12
cmd <<<< /c "mlink $d `"$link`" `"$target`"" > $null
The term 'cmd' is not recognized as a cmdlet, function, operable program or a script file. Verify the term and try again.
I end up getting a new wow2 folder containing a WTF folder and Launcher.exe
Any suggestions or insight?
