Executabe Test

[A Void]

I need at-least 3 people to test out whether this executable works:

Click on the link to get more information. Those 3 users will be given reputation. Thank you.

Note: It should open Iceborn map when you start the .exe.

The executable requires "making changes to this computer" (elevated runtime permission, run as administrator) which is not what you expect for something that should simply run. You have not disclosed what changes it is going to make or why it needs such permission.

Such permission is usually request by processes trying to install something (drivers, software etc) so is it possible that you are trying to make folders somewhere? Or is it because you read the install path from the registry?

This is an executable file created using windows cmd batch it searches for a specific registry key (install path in this case) to determine your War3 location. Once it determines the location it starts War3.exe with a map file that has been imported inside the .exe. The sole goal of this is to play your single player projects independent from War3. Furthermore you can create custom launchers, intro movies, .exe icon, splash screen and even a main menu that is not a part of War3. It allows people to turn simple maps into something much larger. As a test I've created an example executable that launches Iceborn map by Approject. I need it tested whether it works for other people and if there are any problems with it.

It is broken, you forgot to append a "\" before the executable name as well as use the correct case. It tries to access the file "Warcraft IIIWar3.exe". It should be trying to access the file "Warcraft III\war3.exe".

The rest of the search path is correct, even appending correctly for 64bit Windows.

Currently tries this (wrong)...

C:\Program Files (x86)\Warcraft IIIWar3.exe

Should try this (correct)...

C:\Program Files (x86)\Warcraft III\war3.exe

Does this work now?

Tested it until a session started (Act 1 shows on screen). As such I am inclined to believe that it does work.
