    Blizzard BNUpdate v2.133 compiled on Jul 24 2008
    Log created at 9:34 pm on 11/01/2008

    This patch upgrades Brood War from version 1.04 to version 1.15.3.

    WARNING: couldn't open registry key for deletion
    The system cannot find the file specified.

    RESULT: Patch succeeded with warnings noted above


    This was in the patch thing. It kind of scares me how it says "Couldn't open registry key for deletion" <--What does that mean? Do they want to delete my cd key?

    It means they want to delete something from your registry key, which is an extremely important file for your operating system.

    Note that installing and updating programs deletes stuff from the registry key all the time, as does it add to it.

    So basically, it couldn't access your registry key for some reason or another. You might have installed some new sort of virus protection that limits access to the registry key.

    You may just have a corrupt registry key. Happened to me once. Finding out which one is corrupt is a *****. Try uninstall/reinstall, and then manually download the patch and give it a shot. Usually works like a charm for me.
