How do I put a blizzard launcher in the same folder as a blizzard game?

I have installed starcraft 2, and whenever I try to open it, it says: "the blizzard Launcher must be in the same folder as a Blizzard game". What do I do??? Please help!|||I had the same issue. I have a MacBookPro, and finally found a hint on another forum that led me to the answer. The hint was: "delete the Shared Blizzard folder".





Better hint: click on your hard drive icon in Finder, go to Users -%26gt; Shared and remove the Blizzard folder.





Here's what I ran into when I saw this issue happening. Drove me nuts until I deleted the /Users/Shared/Blizzard folder. Ugh.





- Fresh install from the DVD into default location.


- Install finishes successfully, tries to launch itself, pop-up window appears with "The Blizzard Launcher must be in the same folder as a Blizzard game." (Note: install log indicates no trouble / everything installed... clicking the launcher always leads immediately to the same error panel.)


- Repair app starts but fails immediately with "Repair app can not connect to Blizzard servers. Please try again later." (Note: traceroute blizzard.com goes 17 hops and stalls out, so maybe I can't reach the blizzard servers... I can get to everywhere else I try on the internet including battlenet, community forums, etc.)


- Repair app log shows an error msg: Failed to find any nameservers on domain 'localhost'.





I started messing with my /etc/resolv.conf file to see if I could add a nameserver, but it already has 2 listed -- probably from my comcast cable broadband install year ago. I pinged on of the listed ip addresses and it was responding.





I had set up my firewall to open all the necessary ports.





I was installing with an account that has admin rights.





Searching around for the launcher error, I see it posted about a lot for WoW. Suggested solutions for Mac: copy the app bundle from someone else's working install.|||This worked for me as well. Thanks!

Well first, find the folder in WHICH you installed the game(starcraft2), and then copy and paste the Launcher into the folder and launch it from there.





Since I don't know if you have the launcher, I can't really help you, but try the above.





Good Luck!
