Installing Warcraft 3
Well, I just installed WC3 and the 1.21 patch and it loaded and ran fine.
Though I didn't actually start playing the game, I just went to the Start Campaign screen. Though I didn't have to do anything, make sure you right click on the install.exe and choose run as administrator. You can also right click and choose properties on install.exe and choose compatibility and tell it to run as XP:Service pack 2 Should work fine, heck I might even play a little now "Legacy" wrote in message ... it wont even load the screen to install the game just keeps sayind windows explorer error and just stays there help please i wanna play online

Installing Warcraft 3
Try redownloading the game from Blizzard. I just downloaded their latest
version of the online installer and the game installed flawlessly on my Vista x64 system. Tyler Cobb, MCP "CommanderRyalis" wrote in message ...

Installing Warcraft 3
Yes, that's what makes my suggestion a possible solution. It is a completely
different and successfully documented alternative to installing from your original CDs which use the original, pre-Vista installer on said discs. The only way to use a newer installer is to download their new online version and set the game up on your PC across the Internet. Tyler Cobb, MCP "CommanderRyalis" wrote in message ...

Installing Warcraft 3
Sorry, ignore that last response. I have been studying too much and sleeping
too little. You're talking about Warcraft 3. I'm sternly arguing about World of Warcraft and wasting your time. Time for me to unplug for a while and get some rest.  Tyler Cobb, MCP "CommanderRyalis" wrote in message ... Redownloading the game? I trying To install it from my CD's.

Installing Warcraft 3
Okay I found a solution if anyone else has this problem:
1. Disable UAC (User Account Control) from the user menu in the control panel. 2. Logoff your user account, then log on to an administrator account. 3. Go to the control panel then users, look for your original account you were trying to install the game from, and then change the account type to administrator. 4. Logoff or just switch users back to your original account then install! 5. Just remember to go back and make your account limited again, and turn UAC back on as this will have disabled Internet explorer’s protected mode.
