HELP!

Tried reinstalling both JNGP and wc3 however I'm still getting the same error. "Cannot Locate Warcraft" + from we.lua "could not find worldeditor at C:\Programs (x86)\Warcraft III\worldedit.exe try setting path to warcraft folder in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Blizzard Entertainment\Warcraft III\InstallPath or HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Grimoire\War3InstallPath".

Oddly, the filepath is fine - the files are there.
 
@UmbraUnda

By my guess, your game version is v.1.28+. If so, try this self-fix:

Self-fix for JNGP

or you could try Sharpcraft WEX, or if it is a registry error...

possibly a registry error, try searching for wc3 registry fix, and do a complete full/clean reinstall

Tried reinstalling again, still getting the same error. The self fix also had no effect - also doesn't the self-fix work to update WE to TFT from RoC? In my case, JNGP WE won't even open because it can't locate wc3 for some odd reason.

Not sure which registry fix to use, found some programs here on Hive and some walkthroughs on google - they are super old though, will they still work?

In the meantime, I'm just gonna use WEX/SharpCraft. Looks good although it missing a few JNGP features.

It's happening due to blizzard's decision of merging wc3.exe and tft.exe. JNGP would need an update with that in mind to work again, which doesn't seem to happen anymore.

At this point you either switch to WEX or keep an outdated wc3 version solely for JNGP (1.27 still worked - can be downloaded via b.net).
