           Summary: World of Warcraft patcher tries to change folder
                    permissions
           Product: Wine
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: marshall.davis at engineer.com


WoW downloaded a new hotfix via its launcher (Launcher.exe).  Download went
fine, but when it tried to apply the patch, it vanished. The World of Warcraft
directory permissions had changed and set owner to not read/write/execute in
that folder.

I reset the permissions and then tried several times, with the same results.

I eventually chown'ed the directory as root's, and then set permissions to
world-writable so the patcher could run as non-root, but would not rewrite
permissions.

The patcher was started as non-root, and I got this error:

"Launcher requires write permission to the Z:\home\xxxxxx\World of Warcraft\
directory to successfully patch the game. Please enable write access to the
directory using an administrator account."

Launching the game using Wow.exe still works. Launcher.exe continues trying to
patch, and therefore complains about permissions.
