WotLK Update problem

[dzonisha1]

So, i just downloaded WOTLK and i ran it.I logged in and i was welcomed with ''Downloading Update 0%''.
After that it just pops up ''PATCH REQUIRED please click restart button to exit World of Warcraft and download the patch.''
I can't seem to find anything about patch on forum so i have to ask you, what is the solution?

Found the solution! I couldn't log in with email adress so i logged in with my name.

Follow these steps:
1) Restart your PC
2) close your Torrent client and move your WoW folder away from your Torrent's download destination
3) now right click on WoW folder> Properties> remove "read-only"

I tried what you said, still having the same problem. I just downloaded the game. When I open and log in a download pops up at 0%. About 15s later it changes to say, "Patch Required. Press the restart button below to exit World of Warcraft and download the patch." Then it takes me back to login screen with another popup that says, "Failed to apply patch. Please try again later. If problem persists you may need to reinstall or contact technical support." Any suggestions on what to do from here?

that post is to solve a different problem.

To solve your problem you need to read the second post of this thread.

Basically you need to log-in by using your Account name (not email address)
