I've looked everywhere, tried everything that I could think of, now I'll ask here.
I download WAU, click the setup or the WoWAce icon itself, I get the exact same message, it says that WAU is improperly formatted.

That is the error message. Can anyone please tell me what I have to do?

And btw, I'm not a computer wiz, so explain it in normal english please :>

BUMP!

Ye I've downloaded from that before. Still tells me that it is improperly formattet.

Guess it won't work here then, since it's the setup.exe that isn't properly formattet for some reason.
Thank you for trying though

Sorry if this is the wrong thread to be posting on, but the title seemed applicable.

I keep getting this Error message from wau, and i cant fix the problem for the life of me.

WAU Version (1.9.45.718) assembly version (1.9.45.718)
Parsing 1300 Entries In The Index File...Error loading addon list Could not find file 'C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\WTF\Config.wtf'.
Auto-retry of addon list load
Parsing 1300 Entries In The Index File...Error loading addon list Could not find file 'C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\WTF\Config.wtf'.


Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Windows Vista: Read the top of the WAU thread.

Also, make sure the path in the options dialog has an "\" at the end

I'm having the same problem... what is the answer? can you give a link to the solution... where is the Top of the WAU thread?

thanks..
