[Crash] World Editor Crashes Upon Starting

[MegaLucarioEXZ]

I've been trying to get back into the community, and just now have I decided to use the world editor and relearn some of the basics about it. Upon booting it up it gives me an error message.

World Editor.exe - System Error

The code execution cannot proceed because ClientSdk.dll was not
found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem.

I don't want to reinstall Warcraft 3 on limited internet, since I have to use BNet for it to work.
Anybody know how to fix this crash, or if reinstalling would even work? I kind of want to make maps again.

Are you sure the entire folder of Warcraft not damaged? Do you run in Admin mode?

Did you check whether you have that ClientSdk.dll file in your War3 folder? I can see it in mine, so I assume it's required for things to work.

If it's missing, you may have to reinstall the game.

I do not run in administrator and the regular game works perfectly fine. The world editor does not work in adminstrator or otherwise, same error message.

Yeah, I may have to, but it's only a problem with the world editor. I'll get to it eventually, if it doesn't work I'll let you know.

I have uninstalled, then reinstalled the game. The problem is not fixed, it still does the same thing. I guess my maps will continue to go without updates.

Try reinstalling with disabled anti-virus.

1. my anti-virus doesn't block shoddy downloads, infact my Firefox browser does, and it downloads off of the battle.net system so...
2. Even if it was disabling this program from being downloaded, I'd rather take the hit on losing the WorldEditor because of my intel CPU having some security flaws...
