3ds max® is not installed at this location. You must install the Warcraft III Art Tools in the same folder as 3dsmax.exe.

what do i need to do

the obvious...

You CANNOT donload 3ds max as it is ILLEGAL, you have to buy it from discreet, you MAY be lucky enough to find a working torrent ot downlaod it, but nowadays thats highly unlikely and before you do, don't ask where tog et one, no-one will tell you, it is illegal.

You can edit models in Milkshape 3D, yes.
Milkshape 3D do cost money, but it's way less expensive than 3ds max.

There is also gmax (which is free), but the Warcraft III export plugin might screw up the animations from what I've heard.

I've found a guy from youtube that had made a few basic Milkshape video tutorials, but just for basic modelling (not model editing). Hope you can learn a bit from those.

Alternatly, read Donut3.5's basic Milkshape tutorial.

I'll give you some friendly advice.

1) 3DsMax costs 3000 dollars. It is nearly impossible to find a copy of 4 or 5, as they came out many years ago, and certainly not through stores. Even new, you would only purchase the latest version, 9, if you had a lot of modelling experience, so much so that you are willing to spend three thousand dollars to have the best modelling software on earth.

2) 3DSMax is FAR more complicated than programs like Magos, Vertex Modify, and even Milkshape. This isn't a bad thing, as amazing creations can be made with all of the above programs, but for you, an absolutely beginner, the software would be completely foreign to you.

3) Gmax is free, and Milkshape is 40 dollars. These are better ways to learn about modelling and gain experience.

Just because I thought this statement was arrogant... You CAN download 3ds Max. They have the freakin' download on their site. You can register it online :p
