OS X: Help - Can't install Warcraft 3 in on my MBP

[orangeslemon]

Hi all Mac gurus, I seriously need some good advice.

I recently bought a legit warcraft III cd set, to be installed in my new macbook pro. When I tried to insert Reign of Chaos CD, I run the icon and key in the CD keys as instructed. Then, once I proceed, I got the message "Couldn't create destination folder "warcraft III folder". (-50).

What I can do? Please help

Enter your CD key on the Blizzard site and download the digital forms of Warcraft 3.

Wow, you are fast, TQ. Would it help? What is the problem actually?

Try here.

Others have had problems with installing Warcraft 3. I assume that you are trying to install on Mac OS X, and on Snow Leopard?

Downloading the native Mac OS X installer, or using the digital forms of the Warcraft 3 CD's tend to solve installation issues. Both of which can be found on Blizzards website.

Yes Xavier, I am installing on OS X snow eloped. I will try to download from blizzard and see what will happen.

appreciate your quick help

Hm… A stupid question I guess… how to enter CD key in the blizzard website? I can't find any, or do you mean give it to the blizzard support

Create a Blizzard account. If you click 'Store' you will see an option in the upper right to register. After you have registered and verified your account through email, go into 'account management'. There you will see an option call 'Add or Upgrade a Game'. Here you will be presented with an option to enter a CD key. Enter both the Warcraft 3 RoC CD Key and then the FT CD Key, and you will be allowed to download both in their digital forms.

It should be easier to find the blizzard Mac OS X installer.

It's working!!

I registered with Blizzard and downloaded the Mac installer (ROC) using my CD-keys. Then I installed using the installer... Whoala, everything is like a breeze afterwards.

Now, I am downloading the Mac installer for TFT, take long time but I am a happyman

Thanks Xavier!

Interestingly enough, I posted at the same time you posted this.

Anywho, glad you got it working. Once you get everything up and running you don't need to save the dmg's. Warcraft 3 will run without a CD present. Also if you ever run into further problem, you can redownload.

I love Warcraft 3, enjoy!

Tonight I downloaded the TFT Mac installer from Blizzard, and no surprise this time, everything was smooth and I am able to install TFT and even update the 1.24 patch. To complete my night, I test run Dota ai and it was perfect!

You really gives me a great favor Xavier. Warcraft is my all time fav game

WC3/TFT won't run on an OS newer than 10.6.8, which is not compatible with any of the "retina" models

Edit: There's mention of a universal update below so I may be mixing it up with Starcraft.

thanks for the fast reply should i downgrade my software or something ??
or maybe i heard something of installing windows on mac :/ but i really dnt get it :S

hi all,

having problems installing warcraft 3 on imac 4 running 10.6.8. so far as i can tell, it's been used on a pc up until now (bought 2nd hand via e-bay). i'm giving crossover a whirl, which installs w3 fine, but then can't recognise the disk in the drive. is there any way to get the game up and running without forking out for a new disk? key works fine so far...

thanks in advance.
