Ok...i see the INSTALLE.EXE file...but it is 500mb...is it the same for everyone?? i have a no cd patch/crack/hack...i will probably need to reinstall, but can i just clarify with everyone that it is the 500mb install.exe file that you need to copy and paste into the folder???

oh and someone posted a link to forums in bwhacks.com but bwhacks doesnt work for me. Has something happened??

if you are using iccup launcher or mini-bw, i believe there is a install.exe in ur folder already, just rename it like how blizzard said and you are good.

Do you have to load up your Brood war and install the patch for this to work? I can't find my CD to do that

Yeah, Euro/East don't work for me, but I guess it's not that big of a deal

I made a .mpq for 65KB (no music, no campaign, dont think it is possible to make it any smaller)

I had the same problem. The only way it went away was if I deleted the Starcraft folder after running the uninstall kit from add/remove programs. The game gets confused by random files from adv loader, no-cd loader and whatever BW-related program you might have installed sometime in the past. You may want to save replays and maps separately and copy them after the reinstall.

Delete the entire SC folder and reinstall.

just meant: for normal starcraft every file youll remove from this mpq will lead to errors. so this should be minimum no-cd for an ordiary Starcraft install. Even if you have a mini-starcraft you will need an StarCraft.mpq or BroodWar.mpq with those files in the "rez" directory because otherwise the program will complain about the missing cd (glucmpgn.bin and gluexpcmpgn.bin just have to exist dont have to have content)
