WORKS NOW!
So I wanted to try out Starcraft 2 again so I go to the Blizzard website, download the client, unzip the ZIP and then press the installer. Nothing happens! I press it and the icon pops up a bit like when you start any program, nothing happens in the dock, no windows opens. I don't know what to do. So I ask you mmo-champs if there is any solution to this.
IF YOU HAVE THIS PROBLEM ASWELL, DON'T OPEN THE ZIP WITH ANYTHING ELSE THEN THE DEFAULT ONE THAT YOU GET WITH THE MAC!

Restart? Redownload? Check your finder?

you need the mac version (if there is one), if you downloaded the version with an .exe or .msi installer that won't work for mac's

Got leopard or snow leopard?
You sure you downloaded the proper version? (I know, a long shot, but perhaps the windows installer are downloaded when you click both the windows and Mac icon. However, I doubt blizz would so such mistakes. And if you did download the windows installer it should state that clearly in a "this is a windows file" message.

I use Leopard and I'm sure it's not a window file, the full file name is "Downloader.app". I had Starcraft before on the exact some computer aswell.

Have you deleted all old Starcraft files?

It sounds quite strange tbh...
Try to open "consol" which is found within the "help applications" (may not be a good translation, using danish version). Then double-click on the installer. Consol should now write what happened when you tried to open the file. Feel free to post the log here, even though I'm by no means expert in those techy things

btw, I'm having a hard time finding the costumer support number, does anyone know where it is?

2011-05-31, 07:45 PM #12DeletedI would say loosing that folder is even worse... Tried searching for it? Perhaps you should enable the "check invisible files" script, it's out there on the Internet.p

Someone has to say it.. so... get a pc. :P
Now on a srs note, find the folder, remove it, remove the install files, download and install again.
Make sure the download completes all the way in one session, sometimes resuming a download messes these clients up.

Gaaaah, nothing works! Blizzard doesn't seem to have a Starcraft 2 costumer support, my life sucks..

2011-06-01, 04:12 AM #15DeletedSo you can't find consol? Or terminal, disc utility or the digital colorreader? Originally Posted by karate99

Problem solved I'm downloading the game now! The problem was that I was using "The Unarchiver" instead of the default ZIP opener. I talked to Blizzard by phone and the guy there told me to use the default one. Thanks everybody for the contructive answers.
