I was able to successfully install the patch on a portable version of WCIII. So the program does not need to be "installed" nor do you have to edit the registry.

My WCIII folder is located in C:\Program Files\Warcraft III. I'm on Windows XP, and my previous version was 1.24, and I used the full version patch (War3TFT_126a_English.exe).

i found why the patch doesnt work. Extremely easy to solve but you just need to think about it lol. You have to right-click the patch and run as administrator. The reason of the error is because the patch is changing protected files and the only way to let a program do that is to invoque the administrators rights. There you go, i hope i helped everyone

FIX for:

ERROR: unable to create file 'c:\program files (x86)\warcraft iii\BNUpdate.exe'

First things first before applying the patch, run the game atleast oance and change some options, like graphic or resolution. ( this step is necesary so the game puts itself in the registry )

After downloading the patch file, right click on it, select properties. Click on the Unblock button, click on Apply then on OK. Right click on the patch file then click on Run as administrator.

This works for me on windows 7 and windows 8.

6. Change the value of InstallPath to wherever you installed it (example: 'C:\warcraft III\')
7. Reinstall Warcraft 1.24d Patch. (this time your war3 will be installed without any errors)
8. Enjoy! your Warcraft is patched to 1.25b
