'Run as Administrator' Works every time.

I am downloading 3.3 and it had this issue. 

Quick fix. DO NOT REINSTALL THE GAME. No point.

i really dont know but if you go into documents if there is any folder ANY that says world of warcraft on it rename it because it may try to be overwriting some wow files u already have on but if not I dont think I know much what to do

TheParoxysm · Answer

An Error 2 indicates one of two issues. Either files from a previous install are still present on the system. or the install discs themselves are mixed and not a matching set. 

First completely uninstall WoW in any forms on your computer, then go into program files and delete the folder for WoW.

Try to install again and make sure #1 that all of your Cds are of the same set, and #2 they are inserted in order.

Good luck!

Rid my PC from the bugs.
I was very happy that I found the antispyware solution from Search-and-destroy(https://www.hugedomains.com/domain_profile.cfm?d=search-and-destroy&e=com to help me rid my PC from the bugs that threaten its overall performance. I'm sure that you already know that when you search the wide world of cyberspace you pick up spyware and viruses that can make your computer run slow and sluggish. Over time, it will completely stop working if you don't find a good scan to prevent this from happening and the Search-and-destroy Antispyware is one of the best I've found so far. I love it and I'm sure you will too.

I had the same problem/error... I was trying to install WoW on Windows XP Pro SP3 and received the "could not rename..." error at 98%. After a lot of tries, I decided to use the "Run as..." feature from the right click menu... and it worked!

I'm using an account that is a member of the administrators group, but the installer didnt liked it... when I used the "Run as..." with the administrator account everything went fine...

Good luck!

Well a common solution to ANY PATCH PROBLEMS AT ALL is to download the patch from a third party service, just google the patch name, or use wikiwow

Sparven · Answer

Its very easy I had this same problem and after 2 -3 tries I started to read on some forums and I found out you have to explore the world of warcraft.exe file in the wow disc, then right click " Run as ", and you choose your account name and type on your password, If you dont have a password or account make one quick and remove it after the installation, hope it works out for you

So, I found the problem with this install.  I was having the same problem as everyone else.  Error Code 2.  WowPlayer had the right solution but missed one step.  Once get the error, you should see a folder show up on your desktop that points you to the install files.  Right click on Installer.exe and "run as administrator".  Fixed the problem for me.  

Good Luck

You are going to have to remove any WOW files on your hard drive, including the installWOW.exe files and even the WOWTrial files. Everything. Then you go to worldofwarcraft.com and reinstall all of these files in order, from the first to the last.

Ortho · Answer

just find the wow installer.exe and make sure you run as administrator
that will solve it
The problem seems to be windows not allowing the program to access files from another directory for security reasons, running as administrator fixes this
Otherwise you can disable the windows security

Another note for this problem is to make sure if you have WoWModelViewer, you close it before the patching/installation. After I closed ModelViewer, the problem ceased to exist. ;]
