Posts from Files from Heroes 3 are missing. Please reinstall Heroes 3.
Basically, I installed Heroes of Might and Magic 3 Complete and it only runs as administrator, which prevents me from playing online with friends through GameRanger. If I just launch it normally, it gives me the error: "Files from Heroes 3 are missing. Please reinstall Heroes 3." I've reinstalled it, but it didn't help. I've searched the internet and can't find a proper solution anywhere. I'm not sure what else to do. I also tried setting compatibility with Windows 95 and 98 in the properties, but it still only works when running as administrator.

You need to go to the Data folder in the Heroes game folder, and remove the "read-only" attribute from all files with the .lod extension.
There, everything is already configured, and I set compatibility with Windows 98. I can connect to one friend, but not to another. We can't play together in a group of three, either through GameRanger or Hamachi, simultaneously or separately. The friend I can't connect to has a different network, while the one I can connect to has the same network as me.
Could it be that the Heroes version is buggy or a cracked version? Download another one (for example, from torrents) and try running it.

I tried using ForceBindIP to create a shortcut, but at first, the shortcut wouldn't launch. I added compatibility mode for Windows 98, and after that, it seemed to launch through the program, but then it started giving the same error: "Files from Heroes 3 are missing. Please reinstall Heroes 3." It seems like the game launches through the program, but during startup, it loses the compatibility properties, specifically for the shortcut.

Basically, the instructions for this program said to create and edit a shortcut in the game folder, but they didn't mention that it absolutely had to be done in the game folder. It turns out that it has to be done there. So, I created and edited it there, and it launched. I then moved this shortcut to the desktop, and it works there too. The first time, I created a shortcut in the folder, moved it to the desktop, and edited it there, but it didn't work. It seems like the program only records the file path when it's in the game folder. If you edit it on the desktop, for example, part of the file path isn't recorded, or it's recorded as a launch through the desktop – I don't really know.

Yeah, I guess I just didn't fix the "object" field in the file properties as the instructions said, which is why it was launching, but the error was still there
