For VISTA users, the answer in simple, and has worked flawlessly for the following setup:

Go to Start Menu
Control Panel
User Accounts
Search in the User Accounts section for an option to turn User Accounts OFF
Allow computer to restart
Go to Filefront and download the patch manually
Copy patch to each of your WoW directories
Double-Click on patch file in each of the WoW directories, allowing it to patch that folder's WoW
