Glad it worked!

If you are unable to do a simple copy of the files from the cd onto the hard
disk, unless there is some bizarre copy-protection at work, I suspect a
scratch/bad spot on the disk. There are cd resurfacers that can be purchased
at most electronics stores, you could try that. You may also be able to get
a replacement disk from Blizzard, the game is still available and since you
are a registered owner most companies will send a replacement.

Hope that helps!

Assuming you don't have a hard disk problem, you might try installing into a
different location. Create c:\games and install WC3 into it, then try the
update process. The reason is that UAC is very testy about what happens in
c:\program files and its possible there is a permissions problem.

Hope that helps!

If you're trying to download TFT from Blizzard Store, know that it is not
compatible with CD version of RoC. Either acquire CD version of TFT, or
register your RoC and download it too.

warcraft 3 on vista ultimate. i gave up and put xp pro on my comp and
set up all the games that couldent play then uprgaded to vista wow like
magic all my games work fine i even fixed the san andreas radio station
error.
it takes a while but the time im playing diablo warcraft etc makes up
for it.

works fine here, Since Warcraft 3 uses DirectX 9 it won't even bother with
DirectX 10 libs, so how can DirectX 10 be the problem?

When in doubt:
Update all drivers
Update DirectX files with DXWEBSETUP.EXE

I second you. I could install and play it in my 64-bit Vi$ta
Ultimate.... ... :)

You need to disable Desktop Composition to view the movie properly.
You could use registry hack to set the screen size.

Sir, you are kickass to the extreme. That worked for me :D
Only problem for me was that it couldn't make a desktop icon. But you
can just make one yourself anyways.. Thanks man!
