Warcraft not working on flashdrive

I put wc3 on a flashdrive but it doesnt always work. It works on some computers, but on most- i get a message taht says "warcraft 3 wasant intalled properly and you need a cd" (this is a paraphrase) but it works on other comps. How can I make it so it works on all?

Do the computers that it works on have warcraft installed on them?
 
A flashdrive doesn't have a Registry, WC3 probably needs it. Though it has worked for me when I installed it on an iPod. Try just Dragging and Dropping the whole program from a computer which has it installed.

You mean like a USb flash drive? Mine works perfectly, bit slow (Cos i bought a cheap one). Mine works on all computers that i've tried... I could even host on one (not very well lol). Is it like an error that comes up when you insert it into another computer?
 
I have a 4g flashdrive. I installed the warcraft directly to the flash drive this time (before I copied and pasted) and did all the updates on it while still connected to the computer. It now works.

About the error, it used to say my warcraft wasnt properly installed.
 
This is intersting.

I Think the resterity is on the hard drive, but thats cool that you can install it to a flash drive like that. :)

Its almost like i could install it at the libary, and if they didnt wipe everything changed, i could come back and play some warcraft :)

    News portal has been retired. Main page of site goes to Headline News forum now
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I am working on getting access to the old news portal under a different URL for those that would rather use that for news before we get a different news view.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Easily done

    https://www.thehelper.net/pages/news/ is a link to the old news portal - i will integrate it into the interface somewhere when i figure it out
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Need to try something
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hopefully this won't cause problems.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hmm
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I have converted the Headline News forum to an Article type forum. It will now show the top 20 threads with more detail of each thread.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    See how we like that.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do not see a way to go past the 1st page of posts on the forum though
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is OK though for the main page to open up on the forum in the view it was before. As long as the portal has its own URL so it can be viewed that way I do want to try it as a regular forum view for a while
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Yeah I'm not sure what the deal is with the pagination.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    It SHOULD be there so I think it might just be an artifact of having an older style.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I switched it to a "Standard" article forum. This will show the thread list like normal, but the threads themselves will have the first post set up above the rest of the "comments"
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I don't really get that article forum but I think it is because I have never really seen it used on a multi post thread
  • Ghan Ghan:
    RpNation makes more use of it right now as an example: https://www.rpnation.com/news/
