Installing Mist
Well, I downloaded the game and tried to install but it appears a text box with this message: "Data/enGB/wow-update-enGB-18273.MPQ: World of Warcraft can’t make a required change to an archive file. Be sure you have write permission for the World of Warcraft folder or try running the game in administrator mode. For more information, see: https://battle.net/support/article/6910"
So I wanted to know how to solve it or if I still need any file

Firstly, you don't install the version you downloaded. It's ready to run. When you've finished downloading it, remove it from your torrent software, move it to another location on your hard drive... example - C\Games\MoP
You have most likely tried to run it from the location your torrent software saved it to. The files are locked as 'read only'. Moving your download will fix that.
Remember, there is no install process. What you downloaded is a copy of an installed game. You merely have to run WoW.exe. Proof that it does not require installation is in the fact that it can be run from a USB stick...

Fuxtain is right there is no need to install.
It seems that you don't have access to do changes to that folder.
Try Fuxtain fix first by changing the location to somewhere you like.
That should fix it.
If it doesn't you can change the permissions to wow folder.
Windows:
Type cmd in the search bar. (Will open Command Prompt)
Code:
icacls "<Location to Wow Folder> " /grant Users:F /T
That will grant Users full access to the wow folder and all files and sub-folders.

Mac Os / Linux
Open a terminal
Code:
chmod 755 <Location to Wow Folder>
This changes the permissions of the folder to rwxr-xr-x.

If that doesn't work let us know.
