other WoTLK installation problem

[iliektetris]

Hello everyone,
I'm trying to install WoW and patch it to 3.3.5a. Right now I've got Burning Crusade installed and can't for the love of god install WoTLK. Every time I launch the installer I get a message: Unable to initialize streaming. Please check your Internet connection. If this problem persists, please contact Blizzard Technical Support.
I tried turning off my firewall and Windows Defender, Safe mode with networking and many other things and none worked.
I understand that vanilla and tbc install completely from cd's/dvd's and wotlk needs to download something extra, so it requires internet connection.

I'm using Windows 8.1

Please help

The easiest way is to download a full 3.3.5a Client from private servers

The reference on the full 3.3.5a client is above also.

@iliektetris the 2.4.3 → 3.0.1 patch is quite large. If your patch file is shorter than 800 MB, find the correct one. Look on these references to find the client patches needed.

If you patch TBC to WoTLK you will be limited to TBC only content. You need the actual WoTLK install disk to install full wrath.

Full offline 2.4.3 to 3.0.1 patch (limited TBC Content only) - https://mega.nz/#F!yUYCGA5Q!nsxHKy0d4ZhNrqj0zbM6Pw

Then you just need to apply the other patches from 3.2.0 upwards - https://www.getmangos.eu/downloads/category/11-wrath-of-the-lich-king/

I had the same problem, and this was the fix, Client issues.
