I have mac os 10.5.7 and I have downloaded the complete D2 and D2 exp installers from my battle.net account since you can't use the original CD's with OS X installation. I am assuming these are the native os x installers. When I launch either one it just gives me 4 button options. "Play Diablo II", "View the manual", "Customer Support", and "Exit installer". WTF? How can there be NO options to install on an installer?????? I have searched the internet and these forums and nobody has experienced this before. What am I doing wrong here? This is the craziest technical issue I have ever had, its like its a joke. BTW when I click on the play button it does nothing.

Names of the 2 installer files I downloaded were:
D2-1.12A-enUS
D2LOD-1.12A-enUS


Any help greatly appreciated.

Hi, Veld

Have you ever had D2 installed on this system? That's what the installer would indicate, anyway.

To get rid of that, you will need to remove all things D2.

Before you start the install process, check your permissions and check your hard drive's directory to make sure everything is in running order.

Please use the steps below to repair file permission settings on the hard drive.

1. Navigate to /Applications/Utilities/ and open Disk Utility
2. Select the hard drive the game is installed on
3. Select the First Aid option
4. Click on the Repair Disk Permissions button

Repair Directory Procedure:

1. Shut down the computer.
2. Power up holding Cmd (Apple) +s until you get a black screen with white type
3. At the cursor please type the following: /sbin/fsck -f -y and press return
*NOTE - Please be aware that some of the procedures will look like they are frozen, but are actually taking a long time i.e. checking hierarchy
4. If anything had to be repaired, repeat step 3. Do this until it says "The Volume appears to be OK."
5. Once things are repaired type exit and press return
6. Computer will boot into Mac OS

Please use the following steps to uninstall the game:

1) How to remove the Diablo II folder:
* Find the Diablo II folder on your hard drive and open it.
* Copy or move the Save folder to the desktop.
* Delete the Diablo II folder.

2) How to remove the preferences files for the game and battle.net:
* If you are using Mac OS X, open the ~/Library/Preferences folder using the Finder's “Go To Folder” option.
* If you are using Mac OS 9.2.2 or earlier open the System folder and then open the Preferences folder.
* Find all the files in the Preferences folder which contain the words "Diablo II", "BNUpdate", "Blizzard", or "Battle.net" and delete those files.

3) Run the installer for Diablo II.

4) If you have Lord of Destruction, install it now.

5) Finally, download and use the most recent patch at http://www.blizzard.com/patches
