A new installer has been released. It is or will be required on all officially supported DotA leagues on the server so if you are getting kicked from the game lobby, you should probably upgrade.
What is new?
Installer
-native support for mpq manipulation
-fixes registry entries automatically
-overall cleaner installation process
Client v0.3
-starts w3 or w3+gproxy automatically
-automatically sets the correct gateways when starting W3
-automatic updates for client/gproxy/DotA maps/whatever needed
GProxy v8
-improved hack detection
-improved permanent bans for continuous hackers
-improved overall security against tampering from hackers
-sends null packet to bnet every few minutes so you have less chance to be disconnected from bnet after the game (unless you had to reconnect mid game)

Some tips to help you debug what your problem is:
1. GProxy
Some GProxy messages might be omitted from the Client console. You can manually start gproxy by going to C:/Program Files (x86)/Eurobattle.net and edit gproxy.cfg by setting "console" to 1. Then you can manually start gproxy.exe as with the old installer. Output is also saved to gproxy.log.
When you login to bnet with gproxy and type !v in the channel the version should be 8 XPAM Edition. If you are still getting kicked from game lobby it is possible that:
-you don't have the dota map
-you are banned on that league
-the league is still on the old gproxy and needs to be updated (which shall be done in max few days all over the server. LagAbuse.com should be ready from start)
I suggest starting W3+GProxy in window mode for the first time so you can see if your firewall is blocking gproxy since it's a new application. If you see "Connecting to Battle.net" for a long time and nothing is happening it means your firewall or something else is blocking the connection.
2. Installer
If installers fails when trying to move a file or write something to Program Files it usually means that either:
-your antivirus is blocking
-you must run as admin
3. Client
-you must run as admin
Problems so far:
MISSING msvc100.dll: Download and install Visual c++ redistributable [url]http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=5555[/url]
Client fails to start W3:
1. Check that Start->Regedit->HKEY_CURRENT_USER->Software->Blizzard Entertainment->Warcraft III->INSTALLPATH (no ending slash)
2. Check that Start->Regedit->HKEY_CURRENT_USER->Software->Eurobattle.net->w3dir is correct (no ending slash)
3. Check that w3l.exe and w3lh.dll is in your w3 directory
4. Try to run as admin

Lagabuse bots randomly kick you from lobby: investigating. Make sure your DotA map is 6.80c
Massive spam of Unable to open gproxy.log : run client as admin
W3 does not start. GProxy waits 20 seconds and exits. Run client as admin. If you did a manual install it might mean that registry entry for w3dir is incorrect or w3l.exe is missing from w3 directory. Make sure you re-read the manual instructions.
