Since the blues are busy with ...whatever, I fixed the stuff myself and wrote the solution down for you guys.
Sidenotes: System Win7, DX11, Radeon5770HD gfx, firefox
I solved this problem by doing the following:
Step 1: Update your graphic drivers (in any case this is never a mistake)
- google for your drivers and dont skip this
Step 1.5: Download a fresh client from your battle.net account
Step 2: If you try to install it and get the error, check options and reset game preferences
Step 3: Make sure you run the system as admin - IF you are a windows 7 user do the following
-> go to system preferences -> useraccounts -> settings
-> drag the ruler to the 2nd spot from above
Step 4: push the windows key and enter "regedit" in the search spot
-> HK_CURRENT_USER->SOFTWARE->BLIZZARD ENTERTAINTMENT->BATTLE.NET
-> delete D3
REBOOT
Step 4.5: Disable Antivir/Firewall
Step 5: Now try to install again BUT DONT USE YOUR BROWSER (srsly I have no idea why it bugs for me, but it wont work if you try running it by the download tab via browser) - just manually use the .exe
Step 6: Launcher should install properly now - let it finish
Step 7: Go to your systemprefereces in windows and unseraccount settings again
-> drag the ruler to the lowest and restart (this prevents in many cases the error at the login)
Step 8: Start the game and !@#$ing enjoy again, bros&sisters
Step 9: gimme a hug and politely ask blizzard to fix the serverside errorcodes (24000 etc)
Have a nice day
If you get the Error 3 code do the following and relaunch the program not as an Admin:
c:\ProgramData\Blizzard Entertainment\Battle.net\Cache\cache.db
delete the cache
