When i try to install the new patch, the error: Registry error loading key 'Warcraft III\InstallPath' comes! What can i do!?
Unregistere2 said:Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Blizzard Entertainment\Warcraft III]
"InstallPath"="C:\\Program Files\\Warcraft III"
copy above into notepad change install path to correct one remember double slashes for registry files and save as something like patchFix.reg
then just run like a normal file hit yes and if the install path is right it should work. Worked for me
eg c:\Games\Warcraft III -> c:\\Games\\Warcraft III

Somehow my user profile was reset along with the registry input for install path info of wcIII. I did not use the same technique as described though, as it had some binary error when I ran the modified notepad file.
I changed it directly from the windows registry, but it was the same idea. ie:
Start -> Run -> Regedit...
then look for the key
"[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Blizzard Entertainment\Warcraft III"
(without the "s)
if your computer doesn't have that particular key, manually make new ones with the identical names in their respective orders.
then set new string value inside the
"[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Blizzard Entertainment\Warcraft III" location named "installpath" with input values of
"InstallPath"="C:\\Program Files\\Warcraft III" or whatever your wc3 install path is. It worked for me for the latest 1.19 patch =D
