Warcraft + DotA Installation help plz...

[AmareX]

Last time I played Warcraft is a few years ago.. things changed much from then.. So plz someone help me with the installation precess.
I use vista x64. I got a warcraft collection DVD. There are a lot of things and I am really confused. What is World of Warcraft? this 2.5 GB installation requires a server.. do I have to install it to play dota?
I installed Reign of chaos but dota maps doesnt work when i try to play custom game with it. when I install frozen throne map editor crashes and also dota maps doesnt work!
Please give me an A to Z guide on this, I want to play Dota with my friends in lan and practice with computer.
Any way even this dota concept is not that much clear to me .. I guess I need some enlightment...

madmonk eer solution ta valo...but i am suggesting sth different

install reign of chaos....then install frozen throne.download patch 1.22a from any site you want to.....or its probably in the warcraft section. anyway after dling and patching...download the latest dota map... from www.getdota.com and save in the folder, for example....../warcraft 3/maps/download/dota allstars/

and start playing if you have prob post again

Thanks Monk ...
But please tell me installation process...
And also can you please tell me how to create dedicated css server with quark and mani admin plugin?
I've downloaded valve server update tool and also updated it.

will custom maps work (dota?) if game editor doesnt work? cause game editor is crushing each time i crack frozen throne.. is it a issue with vista or i need another crack?

follow the instructions by deathknight 2 play WC and DotA.

for CSS, ask in the CS section.
