Summary: World of Warcraft launcher changes file permissions Product: Wine Version: unspecified Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: colin.pendred@gmail.com
Since the latest update (as at 11th November 09), the desktop or menu shortcut to the WoW launcher removes all file permissions to the 'World of Warcraft' folder in the Program Files directory. The launcher works the first time, but is unusable after that.
It is easy to reinstate the permissions using chmod, or instead use the WoW.exe file, however.
