Normaly I play on a external HDD.
Now I have copied the WC3 folder to my C:\ and when I open WC3 and download the patch it tells me to use the button to restart it.
Then I get the error message:

Quote (Blizzard Updater)

The program was unable to find a file required for patching.
File name: F:\Spill\Warcraft lll\war3.mpq

The F:\ is the external HDD, but I dont see why WC3 doesnt see that the location is a other?
Because I have never installed WC3 on the pc, so it doesnt have any clue about where it should be located..
Now the WC3 is in C:\Warcraft III\

So: How can I make the updater locate the right folder?
