3)Launch the Warcraft III Launcher.exe and ensure it gets to 'Update Complete' 4)Launch the game using Warcraft III.exe and Frozen Throne.exe Note that the launcher will also repair bad installations. There are also these threads from Blizzard about troubleshooting the issues, but it may not cover everything.
When I tried to install Warcraft III I got this nice message that says:
You can’t open the application “Installer.app” because PowerPC applications are no longer supported.
So what's the best way to run Warcraft III on a Mountain Lion?
There are a few articles online regarding PowerPC apps, but I would like to have an answer here as well.

Two ideas I can think of. First, dual boot with OS X 10.6, which still supports Rosetta.
The other is to obtain a copy of Snow Leopard Server, which had a license which allowed you to run it in a virtual machine. Nuova simonelli mac cup v manual. (The license for normal SL did not allow you to run it in a VM. Lion and Mountain Lion changed the license to allow it.) Then use Parallels or VMWare Fusion to run it. However, I don't believe the graphic support is very good with guest OS X machines, so it may not run well.
Even if you can find a way to install the app, IIRC Warcraft III was a PPC binary for the game as well, so you'd still be stuck.

The short answer is: You can't run PowerPC apps on ML. But as already suggested there are alternatives. Parallels or VMWare for example and a Windows Virtual Machine may allow you to run a relatively old game with decent framerate. (if you have the Windows Version, tho Blizzard games used to be win/mac on the same CD).

There's no way to install Rosetta (to run PPC code) on a ML because there were lots of underlying changes that make this an impossible task. I don't know if people have found ways to do it, but it's certainly 'hacky'.
If you can get a copy of Warcraft III installed on another Mac, you should be able to run it just fine under any version of OS X, including Mavericks (10.9). The trick is finding a machine still running a version of OS X old enough to support the Rosetta environment. For this, you will need a Snow Leopard or older version of the OS and an Intel machine. Once you have it installed and updated to the very latest, you should be able to copy the entire Warcraft III directory from that machine to your current machine. You may have to re-enter your CD code, but that should be the easy part.
And yes, this has been tested. I restored my copy of Warcraft III and the Frozen Throne expansion from an old backup to a 2014 retina MacBook Pro running Mavericks 10.9.4 and I was able to launch and get into a local game.
Installing OpenNI, NITE and SensorKinect for Mac OS X Published by admin on Thu, - 5:30pm UPDATE: OpenNI has a new site so a lot of the links (and some instruction on how to obtain things) have changed. Openni manual install mac pro.
Update: only local games will work under Mavericks and later. This is because WC III uses OpenTransport for it's networking, but Apple has removed OpenTransport support starting with Mavericks. If you only want to play against the AI, this won't be an issue. But for everyone else, this is less than ideal.

Product Information
Warcraft II: Battle.net Edition is the latest installment (circa 1999) in the epic struggle of Human vs. Orc. You play either side and develop enough resources to support a conquering army. Build farms to feed workers and troops, then harvest gold and wood to make military units like Footmen, Archers and Ballistas. In this strategy game, play focuses on resource-management rather than pure combat games such as Myth or Close Combat. Combat in WarCraft II basically revolves around producing more units than your enemy and features in-depth single-player action. There are several campaigns from which to choose and you can customize your own scenarios. The main feature of WarCraft II: Battle.net Edition, however, is the online system that provides a source of competition with players from all over the world. The game comes loaded with dozens of maps and scenarios for use when you log onto the Internet and do battle with other players. This source of challenge is designed to keep the game constantly fresh and new. This edition of WarCraft II franchise includes the capability to use naval warfare. Build tankers, drill for oil and build refineries so you can launch a flotilla of dreaded battleships and transports for amphibious invasions of your mortal enemy. Airborne units add another level of complexity, whether they be weaponless scout balloons, the Orc's Dragons or the Human's Griffons. WarCraft II: Battle.net Edition adds some troop control features such as unit grouping and toggling from one unit or group to the next. This helps with control of players' units, especially when the action involves large numbers of units.
