Yeah i didnt do much but delete my addon folder. Now it says i have no wow.exe. So im stuck in college with no wow cds and no way of reinstalling it. Is there any other way to get the wow.exe file back?

Hi Konstantinos,

If you lost WoW.exe, try running the Repair Utility in the World of Warcraft folder. It'll restore missing executable files.

Ok i did that. Now before i get to log into my account it gives me an error:

interface/gluexm/accountlogin.lua:259:attempt to callglobal 'termination without notice accepted'

I think you deleted a bit more than your addons folder. You may want to delete the World of Warcraft folder and reinstall the game.

Ok thanks alot for the help. Possibly with the rush to get to class and wanting to close my labtop i deleted another folder by mistake. Well i guess its time for a wow break untill i get a chance to go home. Thanks again :)

Aznation of Drakkari
It was missing for me too. I uninstalled and reloaded 3 times using the battle.net thing and still nothing. So I went and reinstalled using the cd's and then i had it. If u have problems with "wow.exe" do what i did.
Vulda of Drenden
I not only have the problem of my WoW launcher disappearing when i try to play, but my wow.exe file is gone all together. I've tried using the wow repair but it gives an error messsge half way through using it. I've tried using the battlenet reinstaller and that doesn't work either. I'm going to try reinstalling the game by using the dvd's and see if that works.
Softy of Frostmane
Im having the same problem as you, i deleted the Wow folder and reinstalled the game, and was able to log into WoW, but as soon as i exited to upload my addons, it happened again, i could not log into the game at all, when i used the "Repair Tool" i got an error message at the end and the repair tool did nothing.
