YOU MUST HAVE BOUGHT THE CORRECT PRE-LAUNCH PACK FOR THIS TO WORK **
Also make sure your Battlenet app is installed on the C: or you will have to fix the path.
The install button isnt working and isnt actionable…BUT..
Hit Win+R and in the search window, paste this command including the quotations:
“C:\Program Files (x86)\Battle.net\Battle.net.exe” --game=wow_classic_beta --install
Youre welcome. Now you will be 5-10 minutes ahead of everyone else.
Here is proof: Notice it says “Forever”

Huh, is this allowed? Like you wouldn’t get actions put against your account for downloading the Beta a little early withotu being able to play it till full release would you?
I have no idea personally..
I didn’t install anything, I just looked at the url lol
Quotations are wrong: needs to be "

Why would that happen? I cant play it. Only download it…which is exactly how they used to do it in the past with literally every expansion.

I dunno, just asking because I’ve never early downloaded bypassing a button that wasn’t working. xD
I’ve had my accoutn for so long I don’t want to lose it since I’ve never gotten in trouble.
Remove the " "s around the first part.
Unless you don’t have a C drive and your wow’s not installed on your C-drive, then I dunno whawt to tell ya.

Battle net needs to be installed in your C: other wise use the correct path.

Ok, this DOES work, but REMOVE the quotations.
Was only 15gb for me, installed into my main wow folder (shared assets apparently)

Removing the quotation marks worked for me. Im scared to hit the install button though. I dont want to get suspended or anything. I also only require 15.10gb.

I am so bummed. I am on disability and can’t buy the pack until the 1st. Can’t afford beta. This sucks
However, I hope those that are getting in LOVE it and bring good feedback. I am very excited for WoW:Forever!
