Multi Install and Update Problem

[Mytenia]

Ok i'm new to multiboxing since 4 day ago,installed everything reading the wiki,trying to figure out the things missing from the post being moved there *every attachement on the wiki are broken......* and everything was fine,until today

I have 1 Main wow Dir with 4 other using Links under Vista

Runned the Main Wow to have it update,patch install,so i start keyclone,and boom,error on the 4 first Wow,but the 5th one working,seem's the patch installed in the 5th directory,replacing the links by real files.

Tols myself gonna copy the files to the main directory,do so,and now all 5 wow stopped working,telling me the error *Version Mismatch*

Could someone tell me why the Update installed on the 5th directory,so that if i reinstall everything i'm not doing the same error twice.......

The same thing happens to me. I am not a my computer with wow, but there are some patch files that need to be linked or copied over to the other folders.

Found out somehow that the *Install path* for wow in the registry changed from *Wow* to *Wow5*,but the other path are still *Wow*.....weird

At least it seem it fixed my problem to go to the registry and change it back,but now i must recreate the links of the Wow5 folder ;(

[keyclone]

after an update... it would be smart to run blizzards launcher.exe .. this will do an auto update for your wows. once each wow has updated, then just exit them... and start keyclone + your wow clones as normal

Could you please tell where in the registry it is so how i get home i can change it?

[Mytenia]

Nope,problem still there,don't wanna let me patch ;(

With Vista, you must turn OFF User Accounts (requires restart) and then update each folder individually (either by downloading the patch on 1 client, then copying it to the other folders and running it, or by manually downloading it from all folders).

Maybe if you are running with symlinks. I've never done that from my single install directory. Running Vista 64 bit with UAC turned on.

had the same problem.... Installed on wow5. I made the mistake of closing the window before "Accepting" the Terms of Service, and for some reason, that borked them all. Ended up saving my wtf folders and one interface folder, then uninstalling wow. Painful, but it doesn't happen that often so no biggie.

I've always had some trouble with Patch and its usually the WOW.exe not matching current version error.


This is the first time i've had it error free and this is how i did it

1) Did not launch WOW after patch
2) went to fileplanet and downloaded current patch
3) Copy the patch file into each and every wow folders
4) run the patch file until the wow launcher popped up with the big PLAY button
5) Close wow launcher
6) Move to next wow folder run patch file
7) Rinse and repeat until you have patch run for every wow folder
8) Ran wow launcher.. logged in with no trouble.


If your already getting the error that wow version doesnt match the current version on all wow folders except one you might try just copying the WOW.EXE file from the folder that has the working wow over to the folder that has the one is giving the error (Don't quote me on this since I'm not absolutely sure this is right).


Hope this helps
