I have Windows 10 (that may be the problem right there) and ultimately I want to try the free to play Starcraft, but when I attempt to download it in firefox (with my ad blocker turned off btw), it tells me the download failed. Having said that, when I go to my downloads in windows explorer, it for whatever reason still shows that a “StarCraft-Setup” and a “StarCraft-Setup.exe.part” were downloaded. When I double click the “StarCraft-Setup”, windows gives me a message that says “This app can’t run on your PC. To find a version for your PC, check with the software publisher.”. I have the exact same problem when I try to download and install the Battle.net Desktop App btw.
I have already searched the internet including this forum for a while and can’t find any info AT ALL on this problem. Am I the only one or is this old news and there is a solution?
Starcraft is normally installed through the Battle.net application. If the main website download is getting the network failed error, try this alternate link.
I ended up finding an alternate link on my own for downloading the Battle.net application and it worked. I was then able to install Starcraft using the app.
