I have been trying to install retail WoW all evening, and the battle.net agent is continuously crashing and restarting the “initializing” step of the download. I have done a clean uninstall and reinstall several times now, clearing temp, localappdata, programdata, etc each time, and still cannot get past the same download initialization.
When it happened, there was no error displayed, but I did see the BlizardError.exe run, so I looked for the crash reports, and found them in ProgramData. This is the most recent crash log: https://pastebin.com/Fjk2PsNL
It appears to be an unknown exception, and although I am a software developer myself, I am not familiar enough with the application to make good sense of the debug logs in the crash log:
C++ Exception: yes
Exception is std::exception: yes (message: bad allocation)
