Can i please get someone to coach me on how to install wow into a whole different location on my computer away from my main account? 

 

Ive tried it already and when i install the battle.net installer it just automatically picks up my main account info. 

It doesn't even install anything it automatically says im able to play

World of Warcraft is portable. So the easiest way is to copy and cleaning up the copied folder. If you are too lazy for it. I have wrote a batch file for you.

 

@echo off
echo World of Warcraft copy and cleaning up
echo.
echo.
echo A path with spaces has to be inside of two quotes e.g. "F:\World of Warcraft"
echo If the path hasnt any spaces you dont need them e.g. F:\wow2
echo WARNING: At the end of the path there is not slash!
echo ________________
echo.
:: variables
set /P source= World of Warcraft source folder: 
set /P des= Destination path: 

set xcopy=xcopy /S/E/V/Q/F/H/I/N
%xcopy% %source% %des%

echo Cleaning up destination folder
rmdir /s /q %des%\Cache
rmdir /s /q %des%\Interface
rmdir /s /q %des%\Logs
rmdir /s /q %des%\WTF
rmdir /s /q %des%\Utils\cache
rmdir /s /q %des%\Utils\logs
echo done
pause

 

wow-copy-clean.bat

just copy and paste youre wow folder into a differend folder/drive. start the exe from the new folder.

+ if you think it is safer, it isnt.

copying you current folder is most defiantly not the correct way to do it buddy because that still has you other accounts info inside of it.
