No-CD crack for all versions of StarCraft!
How to use:
Put both install.exe and scload.exe in the StarCraft directory.

Run scload.exe and it should load StarCraft!

Windows 7 (x64): Worked for me after switching to admin rights AND in compatibility with Win98. Otherwise I’d be getting an error telling me I need to get a CD running.
I’ve got some crazy graphical glitches in the main menu, but other than that, the game works fine! Also, for all of you guys living on Pluto: no, it’s not a virus, but since it’s an app that messes with your executable files, it’s obviously being regarded as if it was.
As a general rule of thumb you should always run third-party utilities/launchers and the like in admin mode, once you’ve established it’s not a virus anyways. You shouldn’t need Win98 mode to be enabled though, and I don’t recall doing it for this launcher; if I did enable a compatibility mode, then the farthest back I could have gone was XP. Also for the colours search up “StarCraft registry Windows 7 colour fix”. You should be able to find it relatively easily; you can also kill explorer.exe from the task manager and the ‘shrooms colours will go away (you can start explorer.exe back up again from task manager).
My bad, it was XP. However I still cannot run the game unless the compatibility mode is on (I’m getting a popup “Error patching process!”).
As for the shroom color fix, I’m just going into Resolution -> Advanced -> Monitor. Works like a charm.
Honestly, it’s been a month since I posted that comment, even though I feel like I’ve been playing this game for like a year now. And I’ve never played StarCraft before. Can’t help but see why it is regarded as one of the most influential games of all time.
Oh wow, a newcomer 🙂
Welcome to what I will probably always consider as one of the greatest if not THE greatest game ever made. This game was my childhood, and I cherished pretty much every moment of that childhood – it will always be, forever, in my heart.
