If this problem persists, you may be able to solve it by uninstalling and then reinstalling the game. If you are unable to correct this problem, please contact Blizzard Technical Support.

Try uninstalling/reinstalling both.

Remember, if you're on Vista, you'll have to "Run as Administrator."

Did that about 4 times on my wife's Vista POS. Finally figured it out, and the next day I permanently fixed it by installing XP Pro on it.. Just a
Vista perk I reckon..

Sorry but that's out of order, Vista as an OS is far from the POS that it was a year ago and I am getting fed up of people dragging it down. I was an early adopter of Vista and it spent more time out of use than in use for the first 4 months of last year but for the last few months of 2007 and all of this year to date I haven't used anything but Vista at home, it's been reliable, free of blue screens and caused me no issues what so ever, infact it runs cooler than my XP installation does. I should also add that my PC is not the normal, it's a quad core Q6600 with dual 8800GTX OC2's running in it and SLI hasn't been an issue for a good 6 months now. Oh and I should add that it's Ultimate 64.

Now to the OP, that error looks like it was caused by a corrupt file, if you downloaded the files can I suggest downloading torrents of the files, redirect them to your current downloaded files and see if that repairs it. Failing that just download the file again.

FYI if I need to download patch files or game installation files I would normally get them from the lists on wowwiki.
