Okay, so I’m a closet World of Warcraft player. My friends Ryan Reid (of rynotec.com) and Greg Manning finally got Level 68 (don’t laugh) and we decided it was time to buy the expansion and go to Northrend.

I went to upgrade my account this morning and download the expansion, Wrath of the Lich King, and after the installation files had finished downloading, an error popped up: No installer data could be found. If this problem persists, please contact Blizzard Technical Support. What the heck does that mean? Could you be a little more vague…

After poking around on the internet for a while and not finding any solutions that didn’t involve physically having the installation disks in front of me, I decided to just delete some files and pray for the best.

I did this on a mac: Navigate to Macintosh HD : Users : Shared : Blizzard and rename the folder “World of Warcraft Installer” to anything else. (I renamed mine to “Crap”). You can probably delete it and it should be fine.

Either way, I just ran the installer again and it worked. I’m sure there is a very similar process to solving this problem if this happens on a Windows machine.
