Trouble installing MoP client and PTR Copy
Hello all. As I read there is no NDA and that there doesn't seem to be a Pandaria-specific tech forum at the moment (ie I only see Quests and Classes), I thought I'd bring this issue here. Please let me know if I need to go elsewhere or otherwise made a mistake.
Upon logging into my BattleNET account, I was happy to see that a WoW3: Mysts of Pandaria Beta account was added on my summary page. Upon following the link, there was the option given to download the client or perform a beta character copy. Downloading the client provided a 33mb or so "WoW-5.0.0-Beta-enUS-Installer.exe" which completed seemingly without error.
Running the exe when downloaded provides a Pandaria-themed splash screen with sound effects, with a large Install button as well as a small manual button (and the pulldowns one expect similar to a Cata patcher/installer) which lead to Battle.NET. Pressing install however provides an error as follows...
"Failed to download a required installation file
(http://ak.worldofwarcraft.edgesuite.net/wow-pod/InstallData/Win/wow_enus_web_unencrypted_win.blob). Please check your internet connection and try again. "
...in a pop-up window with an "ok" button, that quits the installer when pressed. This has happened several times when it appears that my other connections (including WoW Cata) is working just fine. Windows 7 x64 Ultimate , when the .exe is launched, prior to hitting the Install button and thus the error, does ask if the program installed correctly which is not an uncommon error when it comes to .exe files at times, but I simply cancel it.
Just thought I'd pass along the issue, as I wonder maybe the installer files aren't all "up" on Blizz' side yet, the same way it appears that more forums are appearing. However, just in case this was a problem somewhere along the line I wanted to do my Beta duty and report it. There do not seem to be any other logs as of yet. Please advise and thank you.
