this isn't really a UMS question... but I need the help

I can't DL the patch for some reason.. it's probably because I moved the SC folder from one comp to the other... and the first comp is unde repair (Never buy an Hp Computer guys)...

Anyways it keeps saying this error:
"Registry error loading key 'Starcraft\InstallPath'
The system cannot find the file specified.


RESULT: Prepatch failed"

Can anyone help me with that?



None.

Do you still have the reg files I gave you? I don't know if I still have them.

I think you were one of the people I gave them to... I'll PM you a link.

Start > Run > Regedit

Find LOCAL MACHINE > Blizzard Entertainment > Starcraft

InstallPath, double click, setup install path.
YAY.



None.

Reinstalling Sc fixes the issue.

After reinstalling copy your whole old sc folder into the newly created one and everything is like it was.
The patch should work now.

I do stuff and thingies... Try widening and reducing the number of small nooks and crannies to correct the problem.

You can use General Mengsk's Directory Fix program.
Just copy it into your Starcraft folder and execute it. It will create the registry entry and you can continue patching your Starcraft.

Hello

I had also a problem like this... (its not the same but this might be the same reason)
just close every program which uses any file of SCBW.. [for exampel SCMdraft]

NudeRaider shouted: Oh_Man Artosis hasn't caught on how devastating the perfect focus fire is. With the mutas he was like "the Mutas always seem to have less hp than against a human". But he didn't notice that the flock he had selected always just had one muta that was hurt. Same with the wraiths here. He's talking about how valks+wraith is gonna destroy Pluto's valks, then 5s later he's dumbfounded the human player's air is just gone and he never figured out why. And for some reason didn't even think to go back and look at the battle.
yeh thts straight up cheating
