I was able to successfully install the patch on a portable version of WCIII. So the program does not need to be "installed" nor do you have to edit the registry.
My WCIII folder is located in C:\Program Files\Warcraft III. I'm on Windows XP, and my previous version was 1.24, and I used the full version patch (War3TFT_126a_English.exe).

"Error: The system cannot find the file speciied i.e. war3.exe"....
I'll reinstall now
can play dont know how to download help!!!
why i got cd rom valid can you say to me why >.<
İmba invoker
i found why the patch doesnt work. Extremely easy to solve but you just need to think about it lol. You have to right-click the patch and run as administrator. The reason of the error is because the patch is changing protected files and the only way to let a program do that is to invoque the administrators rights. There you go, i hope i helped everyone
this version is take so long time to download sh*t
cmon it takes so long just to download this sh*t

FIX for:
ERROR: unable to create file 'c:\program files (x86)\warcraft iii\BNUpdate.exe'
First things first before applying the patch, run the game atleast oance and change some options, like graphic or resolution. ( this step is necesary so the game puts itself in the registry )
After downloading the patch file, right click on it, select properties. Click on the Unblock button, click on Apply then on OK. Right click on the patch file then click on Run as administrator.
This works for me on windows 7 and windows 8.

And then I try this tips
1. Open up regedit (start > run > regedit)
2. Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Blizzard Entertainment\
3. Create new key, name it 'Warcraft III' (without quotes)
4. On right side of new key entry, right click and create new string value
5. Name it 'InstallPath' (without quotes)
6. Change the value of InstallPath to wherever you installed it (example: 'C:\warcraft III\')
7. Reinstall Warcraft 1.24d Patch. (this time your war3 will be installed without any errors)
8. Enjoy! your Warcraft is patched to 1.25b
And when I run the 1.26 patch, it’s not working yet
