Everytime I try to launch wow.exe I get the following error message

Did you just download the client, or it just happened today?

Wow hasty response I appreciate it.
I just downloaded it today my reamlist.wtf file is fine and everything it just wont let me launch wow.exe

What program did you use to extract it? Also, are you sure the torrent had completely finished downloading? It just sounds like something didn't extract correctly and it's reading things wrong.

I used 7zip

And the download says 100% on bit torrent its just seeding whatever that means

I get this when i mess up with wow data files. Maybe some file didn't download properly and it's corrupt.

Or some program might be blocking your game.

Thats the problem tho. Theres nothing blocking my WoW. So why would it be blocking the exact same file, just an older version of it

Did you try running as administrator? Try also replacing the Wow.exe with this in case yours is somehow broken: www.smolderforge.com/extras/Wow.exe

If all that doesn't work, try unextracting again.
