Bnet gathering

[DarkNemesis]

I dunno if this is gonna work, I'm getting an error whenever I try to get into Bnet. It does a instal updates thing, then gives me shit.

This is what it says:

Blizzard BNUpdate v2.133 compiled on Aug 14 2008
Log created at 9:18 pm on 03/19/2009

This patch upgrades Warcraft III The Frozen Throne from the previous version.

Registry error loading key 'Warcraft III\InstallPath'
The system cannot find the file specified.


RESULT: Patch failed

[DarnYak]

That happens when you didn't actually install wc3 on that computer and instead copy'd the files to your local drive.

There is an easy fix, but you'll need to provide the directory to where wc3 is.

DarnYak

[DarkNemesis]

Yeah, that would be my friend.

As in where the file is located? C drive.

[Mills]

In the meantime, feel free to connect to the IRC where I'll be lurking.

I'm rather curiosity on how you play the game.

[DarnYak]

No as in the directory wc3 is at. Usualy its c:\program files\warcraft iii

DarnYak

[Ion]

although I average I probably play 5 times the games in a year

I want this to make sense but grammar just won't let it happen.

On another note, I will be there, on time and ready to play/watch. I am definitely looking forward to it and if I can't partake in the challenge sidelines are just as good. I say if his internet works we play 3-4 and round it out so we're not just judging it all on one game but, we'll see how it goes and how much time it takes/we have/are willing to invest...

[BustroQuick]

I'll see if I can make it.

[DarkNemesis]

No as in the directory wc3 is at. Usualy its c:\program files\warcraft iii

DarnYak

Well, your gonna have to walk me through this. Step by step. I really haven't done this before.

[DarnYak]

Well, your gonna have to walk me through this. Step by step. I really haven't done this before.

Lets try this instead then. Find the icon you use to start wc3. Right click it, select properties. Under the shortcut tab, there should be a box labeled Target:. Copy what's in that to here.

DarnYak

[DarkNemesis]

Hmm, the letters are grayed out, like they can't be selected.

[Perhaps]

Okay, let's try the trial and error method. Download WC3.zip, and open WC3.reg.

[DarkNemesis]

Like I said, I don't do this terribly often. Mind telling me what the hell I do? Copy and paste to another file? What?

[Ragnarokz]

This is what DarnYak is looking for... The folder that warcraft 3 is installed at.

[DarkNemesis]

Uh, I lost you. I don't remember DarnYak saying anything about that. Also, I followed Yaks instructions, sort of, and I wasn't confused, the program just wouldn't let me copy/past whatever. Grayed out.

[Reaper]

This thread is so win

Yak is probably the only one here on your skill level

I lost here ^


also how can you possibly play eota well if you can't even find a directory?

[DarnYak]

Uh, I lost you. I don't remember DarnYak saying anything about that. Also, I followed Yaks instructions, sort of, and I wasn't confused, the program just wouldn't let me copy/past whatever. Grayed out.

It shouldn't be greyed out, you're doing something wrong. Follow what Ragnarokz posted. Folder is the same thing as directory.

Like I said, I don't do this terribly often. Mind telling me what the hell I do? Copy and paste to another file? What?

Run the file in the zip. Double click it. If it doesn't run from within winzip, extract it THEN double click the extracted file. If it asks you if you want to run it, hit yes or ok.

DarnYak

[Dekar]

Finally you fight it out like real men nerds!

Can't wait to watch the replay or even play myself.

[DarkNemesis]

Now its saying the program was unable to locate a file for patching

File name: C:/Program Files /Warcraft lll/wa 3x.mpg

[DarnYak]

Can't do much then untill you provide the full folder/directory its in.

DarnYak

[DarkNemesis]

Ok, well this is the only address I could muster:

C:\W3 (v. 1.22)

Also, I have Vista, not sure if that matters.

[Reaper]

That picture has it

J:\Program Files\Warcraft III

[DarkNemesis]

I have Vista

That is XP btw.

[DarnYak]

Ok, well this is the only address I could muster:

C:\W3 (v. 1.22)

If that's right, this should work. Delete the .txt off the end of the filename, then double click it.

DarnYak

[DarkNemesis]

Its not letting me "delete" anything. And what am I suppose to do with it?

[Reaper]

once you have saved the file, right click it and hit 'rename'

delete the .txt off the end of the name so it only has warcraft3.reg

then double click it
