hacbookpro Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Very odd, could it be your SATA hd? I only installed with the cds and that worked fine for me..

sg Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 i think the original installer requires rosetta, not sure tho. does rosetta work on your AMD? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/91260-wow-installerapp-problem/#findComment-652171 Share on other sites More sharing options...

broodofqueen Posted March 3, 2008 Author Share Posted March 3, 2008 does rosetta embedded in leopard? must i install it? sorry for this stupid question Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/91260-wow-installerapp-problem/#findComment-653147 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sg Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 yes, rosetta is included in 10.4 and 10.5, however i'm not sure if it works with AMDs, maybe someone else can chime in. if possible get someone that's already installed WoW and copy it over to your drive.

broodofqueen Posted March 4, 2008 Author Share Posted March 4, 2008 i have an installed win version. will it work? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/91260-wow-installerapp-problem/#findComment-654021 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sg Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 i have an installed win version. will it work? not really, but i've created a zip with everything you need to do (just unzip and put it in your Applications folder) and then copy over the 'Data' folder from your PC (i included a empty Data folder and labeled it red, just overwrite it or put the files in it). just make sure you have the latest/patched WoW installation on the PC side since the one i'm including is the latest OSX WoW app. grab it here: World_of_Warcraft_OSX.zip Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/91260-wow-installerapp-problem/#findComment-654802 Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeSuKuN Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 I had that problem too, what I did is copy another insallation from a tiger machine, SOME of the wow installers aren't compatible with leopard, it's reported in EU forums Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/91260-wow-installerapp-problem/#findComment-654951 Share on other sites More sharing options...
broodofqueen Posted March 5, 2008 Author Share Posted March 5, 2008 thnx sg... i am so appreciate for your effort, but i solve that problem.. How? first of all understanda that you have a working rosetta... /usr/libexec/oah/translate if your Rosetta is fine it should run, and give its usage details: Usage: /usr/libexec/oah/translate [-argv0 <file>] [-b] [-z <file>] <subject program> <subject arguments> Options: -argv0 Override argv[0] for subject program execv, execve calls. -b Display the current baseline version. -z <config file> Config file. it did not work for me, then; i tried this and it works. thnx for all mates from zephyroth forum... 1. Download this file: http://rapidshare.com/files/96033590/oah.zip.html 2. As root, move /usr/libexec/oah directory somewhere safe for backup 3. unzip the downloaded file into /usr/libexec/ 4. Run WOW and cross your fingers If you prefer using command line: Open Terminal sudo -s cd /usr/libexec cp -R oah oah.bak rm -rf /usr/libexec/oah cp -R ~/Downloads/oah .

sg Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 only the original installer needs rosetta, you wont actually need to worry about rosetta if you can get a already installed version copied over or use the files i provided combined with your PC WoW installation.

broodofqueen Posted March 6, 2008 Author Share Posted March 6, 2008 yep, you r right... but i think a working rosetta better then a crashed one. thnx mates. all of ya. nesukun, did you tried my solution?
