I got this error when trying to patch warcraft 3.
Registry error loading key 'Warcraft III\InstallPath'
The system cannot find the file specified.
RESULT: Prepatch failed
This might be due to me copying and pasting the entire warcraft 3 file from a friend. I am unable to simply reinstall the entire game because I only have frozen throne expansion and not warcraft Reign of Chaos. Any idea how I can update it to 1.24 without reinstalling? I copied and pasted the entire file so Blizzard/WC3 does not appear on my registry as well.
walao

hi...before upgrading to 1.24b i do not have any problems up to 6.61c but after upgrading to version 1.24.1.6374 (1.24b) i was not able to create any map of 6.62 to 6.63b having those map pasted at the correct directory. Even in Garena i am able to see games but not able to join in (auto-kicked not by host but automatically). i tried creating it myself but as i said, i am not able to see any 1.24b maps. SERIOUSLY NEED HELP. i tried reinstalling both garena and warcraft 3 already. pls note that there is no problem in V 1.21
can anyone send me the clean war3.exe? my email >> chinese_man17@yahoo.com . thanks!
i've use this wvs and 1.24b patch installation but both five me the same problem.. loosing my maps list when i want to create my game. i dont have internet connection at home so i use it offline. pls reply to me at intruding_heart@yahoo.com ... anyone..?
hello. i got this problem: after switch my warcraft ver from 1.20 to 1.24 i started the frozen throne on the second button from the left on the wvs tray, an error occured it says.....
"War3.exe - Bad Image
-The application or DLL d:\dota\Gane.dll is not valid Windows image. Please check this against your installation diskette."

Hi my game can't detect any AI Map(all versions) after the installation
hello my warcraft i switched it from 1.23 to 1.24 with the dota utilities switcher but when i try to play the dota 6.64 it just kicks me automatically what i can do? cuz i cant play dota anymore because everyone plays the newest one. If anyone have the answer plz add me on msn luisfgarciapadron07@hotmail.com
Thx I got the patch now after adding the reg value !
Its silly how Blizzard made it a tad difficult
I've included a link to the Reg file fix !
This creates a reg file to the Default install Path C:\Program Files\Warcraft III for those noobs who do not know what to do copy the link below into your browser
www.tiny.cc/bxm
You can also scan the file with an Antivirus scanner to check for viruses before you download !
Download WarIIIReg..zip open wuth Winzip and open WarIII.reg.
A Popup from Registry Editor will ask you to add the information to the registry click OK ! Install the Patch and your set!!
I was also wondering what other reasons why people receive errors there are many and I doubt any1 can help every single problem !
But I guess the main error that occurs when installing patches is that people are not downloading the correct patch or dont know what version they have installed on their warcraft ! Not to mention all the installations using No cd cracks !
FYI the newest patch of War3 TFT doesnt require a CDROM inserted which means theres no need for a NO CD crack or ISO mount anymore !
Hope this helps
Happy Gaming PPL

All those with the BNUpdate.exe problem while they're patching, I think I know your problem! Try right-clicking on the Prepatch and 'Run as Administrator'. I solved my problem by doing this! If it doesn't work, well I hope you find a way through your problem.
P.S. Follow the Regedit thing for all those with the InstallPath problem. It works too!
Well I hope I helped

You must add an additional \ next to every \ that gives the location of the directory. Apparently its a registry rule. Example:
C:\Documents and Settings\flyerfye\Desktop\Warcraft III
becomes
C:\\Documents and Settings\\flyerfye\\Desktop\\Warcraft III
Now "OK" out of everything and close your Registry Editor > Run Warcraft III > Connect to Battle.net > Let it update and restart.
dont worry be happy

have a much easier fix for you. you probably run from your desktop so copy it to the warcraft directory "C:\program files\....\warcraft III" and run from there. worked for me
