I may be wrong but you need to do a chown -R userName:userName 
/Desktop/wowinstall

Change username you your own username such as
sudo chown -R lmamale:lmamale /Desktop/wowinstall or sudo chown -R 
Tom:Tom /Desktop/wowinstall
what ever your user name is on your system
hope it helps ....I getting ready to give it a try in about 1hr
