I went to this website, hoping that it would solve my problem downloading the WoW ptr but nope, I have an active account and live in the USA where it is able to be downloaded (I hope) so I do not know why it keeps giving me this error.

Hey Corruptionz,
To be able to download the PTR you need to first create a PTR account on your Battle.net account. To do this just follow the below instructions and that should get you fixed up.

Log in to Battle.net Account Management.
Select a World of Warcraft retail account.
Select Additional Services, then click Public Test Realm.
Click History/Status to create your PTR account.

Once you click on History/Status it will create your account and then you should be golden.

I did this, and i still get the problem.. any help please???

I'm experiencing the same thing and I also created a PTR account

Where is the History/Status thingy in the first place? Can't find it!

dont see any History/status either ...

Glad to see I'm not the only one having this issue. I have followed the first 3 steps successfully (log in, select active account, choose PTR), but have not been able to locate the History/Status tab after that. When I go back to the 'Summary' tab of account management I do see the following listed under 'Your Game Accounts - World of Warcraft'...
World of Warcraft®
[WoW1]
Active
Public Test Realm (PTR)
...with a link to 'Download Game Client' available on screen after I click the PTR box. This link takes me to 'https://us.battle.net/account/management/download/?show=wow' (Download Clients) where there are options for 'Game Installer', 'PTR', and 'Beginner's Guide' listed for Windows and Mac. I click the link for Windows since that is the OS I use, and receive a pop-up saying 'What do you want to do with World-Of-Warcraft-Public-Test-Setup.exe (3.7MB)?', the options being 'Run', 'Save', or 'Cancel'. I have tried a dozen times now over the span of a day (thinking perhaps it required time to process), choosing both the 'Run' and 'Save' options. A load bar appears briefly before I am prompted with 'Do you want to allow this app to make changes to your device?' Choosing 'Yes' opens another box, this one saying 'Starting battle.net' followed by 'Downloading New Files', then 'Updating Blizzard Agent'. Upon completion it loads the battle.net launcher but gives the error message others have reported, 'Sorry, you haven't been invited to play this game yet' with the link 'More help: BLZBNTBNA000000C8'
I have tried everything I can think of other than an uninstall/reinstall of WoW, which I won't do, so if there's anything I am missing or a step I'm doing wrong, please let me know! Otherwise I will assume the PTR is closed/broken and go back to levelling my live toons. Thanks for your time, I know it's a lot of information, but I wanted to be as thorough as possible.

Also having this problem. PTR account is present in my acct manager, I downloaded the installer, but whenever I try running it, I get the same error messages as OP.

also having same problem
EDIT: I found a solution that worked for me in this thread on the EU forums: https://eu.battle.net/forums/en/wow/topic/17617103576
What worked for me:
1. log out of battle.net app
2. on the login prompt, select a different region from the drop down menu, next to where it says 'Americas'
3. Log in. You should see PTR on the region/account drop down
4. Log out, and log back in to your original region.
5. Select PTR and Install it.
6. Should be good to go.

This worked 100%. You need a trophy. Been pulling my hair out for 20 minutes, scrolling through endless threads, to no avail. Upvote the HELL outta this, because it seems so many have this same problem, and I have not seen one GM be able to answer it correctly.

Perhaps a silly question: the PTR is installed as a separate 'instance' of World of Warcraft, right? In other words, if I use the 'World of Warcraft - Uninstall' command from the separate, PTR drop down menu in Windows, all I will uninstall is the PTR, yes?
I ask because when I begin that operation, it says:

Click 'Uninstall' if you are sure that you want to uninstall World of Warcraft.
Y/N -- Delete all files in the World of Warcraft folder.

It doesn't suggest that there is a difference between the PTR and the normal client, and I don't really feel like downloading and installing my entire normal WoW client all over again...
Edit: I get the same message when I try to uninstall it from the Windows Program Manager function.

Davert ,
If you aren't sure, just delete the game folder you have the PTR client in along with the desktop shortcut to it's launcher. Make sure you aren't deleting the folder with the retail client though.

And that will effect a full uninstall for the PTR client? I thought that there were usually files dropped - here and there - into other system folders, that made the game work. I thought the function of uninstall programs was to help catch all those little sneakers.

Davert ,
No, that's it. Nothing is installed anywhere else. The registry entry just holds the install location. It won't hurt anything to leave it there.
