    Cannot install Zygorsguide

    Hi,
    I'm trying to install zygors guide since I have a new notebook and at the end this is error message I receive without any chance to open settings or something else and the guide seems to be not installed at all.
    Could you help me ?

    Thank You!

    Edit : FYI I moved the wow folder from my old notebook to the new one (so I didn't installed the game again but just moved the installation folder) and placed into C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft, maybe this lead to this issue ? Infact in my old notebook i never had this problem. How can I solve this issue ?

    Wow, first time I've seen that one. One thing you can do is fool the installer on a temporary basis. Create that directory it has an error for and copy your launcher.exe file from your WoW installation to it. Then it should be able to find it and allow you to get to the settings screen to change the directory to where you have WoW installed.

      Ty Cabby for your fast reply!
      Unfortunately I had already thougth that solution but isn't working infact zygor updater seems to start the blizzard launcher (why?) within that dummy folder which seems to be a litte tired as you can see in the below image.

        This is strange, the updater stores it's information in the windows registry so if you move it to a new PC there are no settings and therefore it should start with the configuration dialog.

        Did you try downloading the newest updater, it has been updated in the last days so maybe there was a bug inside that got solved.

        If you are familiar with the registry editor you can lookup the saved settings of the guide.
        You find then under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Zygor Guides

        And finally if you use Windows Vista or 7 you should not install games under Program Files, create a games folder in the root directory and install or copy it there. Program Files is protected by the UAC so it may cause several problems when games try to save files there.

          If you don't get the launcher working you can always download the manual installtion zip file and extract it to your WoW\INterface\Addons folder.

            Thx Cartman that solved the problem , I simply deleted the regedit key so installer started again and located correctly the wow folder and now it works fine !

              Good to see you got it working.
              I think the problem was caused by the automatic mode feature, the description says the updater will launch WoW. Seems like it tries to start the launcher over and over again when it does not find it.
              This should be fixed in the updater, a simple "file exists" will do the job
