Launcher requires write permission...

Thread first seen on November 14, 2010

I'm getting this message everytime i try to run Launcher ever since I installed Lich King.
It says Launcher requires write permission to the WoW Registry key to successfully locate and run the game. Please enable write access to the Registry key using an administrator account.

someone help me?? i uninstalled, reinstalled about 3 times, and no solution.

i tried to run it as an admin, still no luck
i tried owning the folder, still no luck
i am the admin for this laptop
i don't think my laptop is the issue, i think its the updates or the files.
i was playing the crusade a couple days ago and i upgraded to lich king because i wanted more options
and now i am getting this error


someone please help!

and when i run Wow, the game will run, but it shows me license agreement every time.
i agree and try to log in, and it will go some update install, and then it will say you must restart in order to patch or something close like that
and when i do that, it will update 1 + gb of updates or something. and then when that is finished, it will come up with this message

Blizzard Updater was unable to start up.
Patch can't be applied because it is missing data for: "koKR". If this problem persists, you may be able to solve it by uninstalling and then reinstalling the game. If you are unable to correct this problem, please contact Blizzard Technical Support. (SetLanguage)

is wow in your program folder? if so move it out, make a new folder on the drive called for example "games" drop WOW into it and redo the launcher shortcut and try it again
This thread was on the old WoW forums that have since been closed.
