I guess it's somehow conflicting with the fact that I have retail, Nost Vanilla, and Warmane WotLK installed? Not sure how to actually install from my disks. Any suggestions?

Posted: Fri Apr 15, 2016 12:52 amHello everyone.
I hate to be writing this post but it has to be done.
We were not prepared for approximately 18000 attempts at accessing the login servers simultaneously, concurrently with fighting off ongoing DDOS attacks we've been experiencing this week.
The server's hardware was not capable of so many connections at once and went down shortly after launch.
We have been taking steps to upgrade the hardware and restore the servers as quickly as possible.
Additionally, we are not providing any detailed information as to when the project will be up. As soon we are satisfied with the upgrades we will bring it online again. We expect this take at the very most, 1-2 days.
Our goal for gradual increase in population on launch day was short sited as many players were willing to wait however long it took. Hopefully this time around having a vague and large window will alleviate some strain and let players start experiencing the project gradually.
We now ask of you all, the players and community:
Have patience!
Go about your lives, please don't sit there and refresh all day. Checking back once in a while will save you frustration and unwanted stress that would occur otherwise. There is plenty of that going around already.
The staff.

I think you have to remove the registry keys that point towards the other wow install folders.

How does one go about doing that?

It's been a long time since I did this so I can't say that im 100% certain and if you delete the wrong keys it can be a problem. But it should be somewhere along the line of just opening regedit and going into HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> Software -> Wow<something>Node -> Blizzard Entertainment -> World of Warcraft.
After that I don't know, this depends on how you installed the other versions. If you unzipped a preinstalled folder of WoW you won't have any registry key, however if you installed it using a Classic WoW installer like miself, then there will be a registry called World of Warcraft Classic.
But like I said, I haven't done this in ages. Maybe there's someone else on here that's got more up to date info
