aeya Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Alright, been messing with this for the past day or two, and no matter what I do, the wow installer .app won't launch. I tell the installer to launch, the CPU pegs out for a second, and nothing happens. Not even an error window gets displayed. Any ideas? I did notice the installer was a PPC app. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/71377-world-of-warcraft-installation/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
thorne Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Hi, I had a similar issue the first time I downloaded the installer. For me it turns out it was not completely downloaded. Running the Blizzard downloader again completed / verified the download then launched the installer for me. Are there any errors in your console?

baddelini Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 I'm having this problem too. I get an error about Illegal Instruction though, but it won't launch. Anyone have a solution?

sg Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 the installer from the original CDs was PPC only but it does work if you have a proper mac or hackintosh. if you can't get it to work, go to the blizzard site under your account section and you can download the entire game + installer and it will include the laestest installer which is universal.

baddelini Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 This is actually a rosetta problem, I have come to find out and you need to replace rosetta translator. There's a link to a fix on these forums somewhere, I'm too lazy atm to search for the link. Edit: Here's the link to the file http://hosted.filefront.com/iSynic It's called translate.7z. You'll need a 7z unzipper to extract it. I put the 'translate' file in the zip on my main partition "/Volumes/Leopard/Translate" and then opened terminal and typed the following. sudo cp /Volumes/Leopard/translate /usr/libexec/oah Enter your password, the file copies and bam, welcome to working PPC .apps.

sg Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 i really don't have this issue on my intel hackintosh, im not sure what method you guys used or what distribution you guys installed. maybe you could provide that. i'm just using a standard 10.5 dvd with a vanilla kernel and the pc_efi guid bootloader. everything else is stock except applesmbios and i've removed appleintelcpumanager.kext.
