Tukui/Elvui not finding wow.exe

Opened tukui to update elvui, and its not finding wow.exe. I’ve uninstalled, reinstalled, restarted pc, deleted all folders etc.

Could this be because of maintenance or am I screwed?

Same here. Folders like AddOns and WTF are gone and many other files as well.

Seems they added a new level to the folder structure…I found everything under \World of Warcraft\_retail_

Hope that displays properly…I had to escape all the backslashes and underscores to view properly on my screen.

Just seen that! Choosing the retail folder opened Tukui for me. I really hope UI settings aren’t messed with.

Well, i have the same folder and files on my World of Warcraft and World of Warcraft_retail_ folders. No .exe, AddOns or WTF. I will try to repair (again).

Edit: After three repairs and reopening the Blizzard Launcher, a 75MB update started and the .exe is there again! No sign of AddOns or WTF, but I have a backup.

Everything is fine now. WoW is good again.

I’m having the same problem, but I can’t find this “retail” folder. The only thing within World of warcraft is an interface folder…

guess i’m not raiding tonight…

-found it… my install folder moved from my c: drive to my d: drive

I still have the same problem.
But the installation folder has not moved for me.

The game was moved you will need to repoint it at the new game location

example old path C:\ProgramFiles(x86)\WorldofWarcraft
new path C:\ProgramFiles(x86)\WorldofWarcraft\_retail_

I wonder why they change the folder structure, didn’t see that in the patch notes so that makes me wonder what other stealth changes they made ;S

This happened to me too. As if there wasn’t enough BS with this expansion and patch, they did this in stealth without telling anyone. How crappy.

My god, thank you so much for this post. I was getting so frustrated trying to figure out which folder to choose. x.x Thank you again.
