It is unable to open the main warcraft mpq files which provide all the game data.

There are 2 causes of this.
1. The process lacks the nescescary permission level to open the MPQ files (it should be trying to open them in "read only" mode but bad programmers might have accidently made it open in "write" mode which needs extra permission settings).
2. The preprocessor is unable to locate where the main mpq files are. How it trys to find them is up to the programmer which made the program.
