installing the patch i get an error message. Here is error message:

WARNING: error 0 decompressing ITEM\TEXTURECOMPONENTS\LegUpperTexture\ROBE_RAIDMAGE_F_01WHITE_PANT_LU_U.BLP from disk
Error: The installer was unable to read the file "sound\spells\soa_pvpdefeatalliance.wav". This error may be caused by problems with the media or drive at <unknown> --for example, a scratched or dirty CD-ROM/DVD-ROM, hard drive corruption, or a networking problem while downloading the installer. (The error code was 0.) : DecompressJob::Execute()


My OS is windows Vista 64-bit.
The updater is : WoW-3.3.5.12340-x86-Win-enUS-BKGND-downloader

I notice it has x86, why is it x86 when it should be x64?









here is the entire installation log:
