How to get StarCraft Brood War?

Attempting to install Starcraft + Brood War, but it keeps getting stuck at 64%! Help!?

  • I bought the original Starcraft as well as Brood War in a single package a while back, maybe a year...anyways, I installed it with no problems on an old laptop. Today I tried installing it on my new laptop, but for some reason it keeps getting stuck at 64%. This is after I put in the Brood War CD, and it gets stuck at "BroodWar.mpq". What's confusing me is that I've tried to install it several times, with the same result. I even tried to download the game's installation program from Battle.net and install it from there, but it gets stuck at the same spot. Anyways, I'm usually forced to ctrl-alt-del out of the installation, because pressing "cancel" doesn't do anything. I suspect that this may be part of the reason why it always gets stuck (premature cancellation), but...I don't know. Any help is appreciated.

  • Answer:

    Either.. 1.the new laptop is too updated for the game (happens with most myst games) 2. you aren't giving it enough time. downloads can take a while. leave the download alone for a few hours or so and see if that helps.
