I am having a bit of a problem, and you seem to have it together, so perhaps you may be able to help me. I just went hough 38 pages of forums with no answer to my question. I have downloaded 7 different repacks, including the one on your post, and I have 6 computers, all with a working wow account, so I know there isn't a missing file. I have run the 7 repacks on the 6 computers all with the same problem, in all instances. When I run the ad.exe program to extract the maps into the maps folder, it gets to 41% and crashes on all computers, in all repacks. I'm not finding an posts, but I can't believe that I am the only person haveing this problem, so do you have any solutions?
