    Cataclysm Installation

    Hey guys! So I wanted to try Cataclysm. I followed a guide here that shows how to do it, downloaded the enGB installer but whenever I want to install it at about 2% I get an error saying the next :

    The installer was unable to read the file "D:\World of Warcraft WotLK\Data\enGB\Interface\Cinematics\WOW_Wrathgate_800.avi". This error may be caused by problems with the media or drive at <unknown> --for example, a scratched or dirty CD-ROM/DVD-ROM, hard drive corruption, or a networking problem while downloading the installer. (The error code was 5.) If this problem persists, please contact Blizzard Technical Support. (ReadJob::Execute)

    Any ideas on what can I do to fix it ? Thanks .

    @Vinland I did it.

    @Holy-cola Didn't work either.

    ---------- Post added at 01:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:25 PM ----------

    Ok guys I tricked it a bit. I renamed the "WOW_Wrathgate_800.avi" into "WOW_Wrathgate_800_.avi" and copied a "WOW_Wrathgate_1024.avi" and renamed it to "WOW_Wrathgate_800.avi"

    So it works now. Just saying so if it happens to anyone we know what to do. Anyways thanks for your time to help me .
