The installer was unable to read the file "E:\Movies.mpq". This error may be caused by problems with the media or drive at E:\--for example, a scratched or dirty CD-ROM/DVD-ROM, hard drive corruption, or a networking problem while downloading the installer. (The data being read was "enUS\WOW_Intro_800.avi", and the error code was 5.) If this problem persists, please contact Blizzard Technical Support. (Converter::Load)

The file "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop\World of Warcraft.lnk.temp" could not be deleted. (ConflictManager::UncreateObjects)

What does this mean? CAn anyone PLeaseeee help me, i'd greatly appreciate it.

Thank you!

Hi Varez,

Do you not have permission to read and install the game files? Please make sure you're under a Windows administrator account before installing. If you're in on,e please try this - http://us.blizzard.com/support/article.xml?articleId=21058

If the Windows copying states that you have a CRC error or an invalid MS-DOS function, there's something wrong with the drive or disc itself when it's busy trying to read the disc. The online installer takes rebuilding the old game files into Wrath files into account for size calculation. It's best to remove the old games and have the Wrath installer download it all for you.

Only the DVD will give you that option if you're on a hard drive with limited space. You may want to resort to Safe Mode with the DVD - http://us.blizzard.com/support/article.xml?articleId=21148

Can you try copying those files over on another computer? That will let you know if the disc itself is bad or if your DVD drive is having some trouble.

If your disc is bad, you can always get a replacement disc. http://us.blizzard.com/support/article.xml?locale=en_US&articleId=20666

It will be faster to get the download version of the game in most cases.


Q u o t e:
ANd if i wanted to COMPELTELY uninstall WoW, to get a new fresh version online, whats the bset way to do it

I'm not sure if there is considering you worded the question like that. You just uninstall your current set of games (I'm assuming you have WoW and BC installed), then download the installer from http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/account and make it install Wrath.
