This is a big problem with the current installer. If you are on a 64 Bit windows, it will install to c:\Program Files by default, and the game will not work.

We're hoping to have another better installer soon.

i had issues so i installed it into the public folder you have to type it manually (or copy and paste) but its something like user/public/games or whatever



the reason i did that was that when updating warcraft to wrath it suggested it for that game
