--- Comment #22 from Thomas Spear Speeddymon@gmail.com 2011-11-20 03:57:35 CST --- The crashes that happen all exhibit similar symptoms, in that it happens after a few seconds of downloading, once the latest launcher is installed. You can get the WoW downloader from https://us.battle.net/account/download/ -- click the Windows link for the Full Game Client (which is around 30MB).
Once downloaded:
run it as I demonstrated in the backtraces above click Install scroll to the bottom of the license agreement and click Accept. It will download some files (should take a couple of minutes at most), then pull up the older version of the launcher, which comes with the installer. The old launcher will update itself, exit, and re-open. The new launcher will take a minute or so to initialize, then start downloading for maybe 5 seconds, then error out or hard crash.
I'm changing the status to new
