WoW installation is damaged.

hello im having problems with installation. I downloaded torrent file game and launcher. I did not download official battle.net app.

I downloaded game, and I copied downloaded launcher inside World of Warcraft Legion directory (finished torrent) and game wont run. I tried to delete mentioned files from data folder, I tried to remove config folder inside data and replace with yours, also when i want to UNCHECK read-only, it will go back to read-only no matter how hard I try to uncheck it. Still getting error that installation is damaged. Any idea? :/

If I run only extracted launcher, (it says it has 3gb) I can log in and get in game. but after short period of time game kick me out saying i dont use freakz launcher... which I obviously do. If I run the same launcher from legion directory, no way to run.

Can you please be more specific about this? What "only extracter laungher 3GB"?

Also, are you 1000% sure you deleted the config folder and replaced it with the one from the archive we posted https://www.wow-freakz.com/wow/legion/config_23420.zip ?

Do I understand this correctly? I am supposed to create account, which I have done. Then I am supposed to download whole game using torrent, and launcher for newest version.

Now, I am supposed to copy new launcher and overwrite it inside legion directory. It won't start. I am trying to uncheck read-only status on "data"directory but it will go back to "read-only" imidiately. I also replaced config folder.

What I was saying was, I tried to run only launcher (without "legion" torrent) and I could log in game but game kicked me out saying I dont use official launcher so I cant play. Then I copied launcher inside legion directory and im not able to run game. I can only run game if launcher is not copied inside legion directory. But game kick me out so its not solution really :/

Will try:

https://forum.wow-freakz.com/WoW-Legion-client-t452441.html - from here, i downloaded two files: legion torrent, AND this launcher: https://www.wow-freakz.com/wow/legion/launcher_23420.zip

both files are listed on website I mentioned above. after legion is finished downloading, I extracted launcher_23420.zip file inside legion directory and overwrite everything.

When I start launcher_freakz.exe, error pops up

However if I extract launcher_23420.zip file to Desktop, and run launcher_freakz.exe, game will start and I can log in but I will be kicked in 15 seconds.

That doesn't make sense, it shouldn't start if you extract anywhere else other than wow folder to overwrite

what error: WoW installation damaged. error which I am trying to resolve here.

Exctracted launcher will open.. i dont know whats goin on but it says it has 3gb (i think maybe i messed up files while overwriting or something) and launcher starts but game does not think I use your launcher so.. anyway, the point is, why overwrited launcher wont start. thats the thing. I did everything I was supposed to do, I was even searching here in forum im not sure what to do :/

Same thing happened to me twice. I redownloaded the game and still got the error...

I solved the problem. Go to the data folder and delete the "CASCRepair.mrk" file to fix that error message.

Guys I have the same problem of Ludwig Van, I cannot start the freak launcher, I follow the guide, tried to remove read only, tried to deletec CASCR file , trie to replace config folder. It doesn't work, everytime it says that "Your World of Warcraft installation is damaged. To learn how to repair it, see: https://battle.net/support/article/6572";. What can I do?
Every time read only comes back by itself.

That error has nothing to do with the "freakz launcher", but the wow client. Please carefully follow all the solutions we posted there, especially "scan & repair" one

I too have the same problem.
- Downloaded the 48.6gb torrent file.
- Copied & replaced the files from launcher_23420
- Deleted torrent downloaded "config" folder and then copied "config" folder from from "config_23420.rar" at the same location inside the "Data" folder
- Deleted "CASCRepair.mrk", still "CASCRepair.mrk" keeps reappearing each time I try to launch "launcher_freakz" & "launcher_freakz-64"
- Tried both "launcher_freakz" & "launcher_freakz-64" separately, and ran as administrator
- Took full authenticating power from the properties>security tab
- I use windows 10, but tried to open it with Win7 compatibility

Nothing solved the "World of Warcraft installation is damaged" issue as you posted here https://forum.wow-freakz.com/WoW-Legion-client-t452441.html
"Your World of Warcraft installation is damaged. To learn how to repair it, see: https://battle.net/support/article/6572";

PS: No matter how many times I unchecked "Data" folder, it still shows a black box (not usual tick mark) everytime I open the properties of this folder

Hello Rustcoil, I had your same problem yesterday, I solved with the WoW download from Blizz App:

- download blizzard App.
- download 40+ GB of WoW from Blizz App.
- follow every step in the freak installation guide.
- if you uncheck "only read" box from the WoW folder, it will be applicate to all files inside the folder, don't worry if it reappears (I was worried too yesterday).

For me it worked, let me know if it will work for you too. Hope this will help people with installation is damaged problem.
