Was kinda bored and my brother pointed out this project, looking forward to release, I loved vanilla wow.
Back in the day I used to make private servers with Trinity Core / Mangos, fun stuff. In fact making a wow launcher is what got me into programming. Anyways I made a custom vanilla like installer/launcher. It was written in JavaScript/CSS/HTML using nodejs and electron, the top part of the app is just a webpage so if the devs want they can add support for it, right now its just some Lorem Ipsum. It installs wow in %appdata%/.elysium/game, and includes some simple tools. It's windows only right now, but with some research it could be made for mac ( I dont have any way to test mac so I didnt make a mac verison ).
Here's some screenshots:
