    Big Problems while trying to install Warcraft 3 .. Please help!

    Hi gyus. 1st, sorry for my bad english.
    The problem is that i cant even start the installer. It keeps saying me "No program start menu found".
    I've tried everything -> compatibilty with xp sp2, 98, run as administrator etc. all this stuff didn't work.
    Please help me! I love this game. 10x in advance.

    try installing with anti-virus/firewall/defender turned off, also make
    sure your warcraft dvd is clean and not damaged, you could also explore
    disc to see if will run set-up from there, also turn off UAC, but you
    should turn it on again to be safe

    10x man. I tried your suggestion but it didn't work. Seems like the installer is incompatible with the OS. I was told that this is a Quicktime problem and installed it but it didnt work again ... It's quite annoying ...
    I'm accepting other suggestions ...
    sorry for the bad english

    Setup was unable to create the following directory:

    the problem the two of you have is that in the value of the string you left a space at the end of "\programs". just go and take out the space and all should be well as it was for me. it's taken me about 2 hours to finally get this installed.
