after countless time , i have managed to install OSX and bring up working everthing…

The i download the newest WOW BC installer from WOW-europe.com.

When i doubleclick it... nothing happens. The Icon flash´s , and it do nothing.

I have Patch my Rosseta , but i dont think this is the problem , becouse the Installer should be a Intel Nativ application.

My System :

Amd Opteron 170
IDeneb V1.3 10.5.5

Can someone me ?

Thanks a lot and sorry for my bad english

That is my Problem…everything looks fine. Sound , Network, HDD , everything.

I have replaced the "translate" file in /usr/libexec/oah/ with the file from macbook's leopard,and now i can run the wow.
What is your mother language?

Field Note #2 @Voyn1x 2008-10-02

Have you got full QE/CI enabled on your graphics card?

Field Note #3 @DoiX 2008-10-02

I get the same error and im on intel, i wasn't able to find a solution but the strange thing is that on zeph's first beta-release the installer worked. I was lucky enough to find on the bay 2.4.3 already installed .dmg file
