I just can't get anything else than:
"Data//wow-update-base-17325.MPQ: World of Warcraft can’t make a required change to an archive file. Be sure you have write permission for the World of Warcraft folder or try running the game in administrator mode. For more information, see: https://battle.net/support/article/6910"
I have no idea what to do and my windows partition is hell

Since it's wow, I'm paying time for nothing

Are you trying to run this from a Windows partition? That's not supported; install it in Wine.

I'm trying to make it work on either windows or ubuntu. I used to be able on ubuntu more easily.

So I have wine installed (1.7)
Wow in on a middle partition shared by win and ubuntu. it was installed with wine
I run the wow launcher or battlenet launcher with wine and it always gives me the permission problem.

On my windows partition, I can't get wireless to work, but I can open wow

If the partition is shared between Linux and Windows, I assume it's NTFS or possibly FAT32. Wineprefixes have to be on a native filesystem.
