Hello,
i'm trying to install starcraft on windows 7. the install goes smoothly right up until the end, and then aborts the installation because it says
error code 0 windows cannot create directory c:\starcraft\maps. help? thank you
 



We do not support torrenting games or other forms of illegal possession/installation.

If you are trying to install a game which is not legitimate then please ask for help somewhere else.
 
wasnt talking about torrenting :pfff: how do you even torrent starcraft lool you need the online ID..

anyways you should try to find the hidden files and delete them and redownload.
 



I am having the same issue. error message reads:

The file "C:\Program Files (x86)\StarCraft.temp\Maps.temp\oldladder.temp" could not be renamed to "C:\Program Files (x86)\StarCraft.temp\Maps.temp\oldladder". (ConflictManager::ResolveConflicts/1)


Even when installing as an Administrator.


Edit: I purchased this game directly from blizzard's online store. It is not pirated in anyway shape or form. However it will not install on my computer and blizzard themselves provide absolutely zero help.
