What it means
Blizzard explains that BLZBNTAGT00000AF0 appears with the message that the folder does not contain the game: Battle.net cannot find your game installation in the selected directory. It usually happens when you point the app to an existing installation, for example after moving the game or reinstalling Windows. The causes are a folder that does not hold that game, a configuration error between the game and the Battle.net app, or an installation that is incomplete. Nothing in the code suggests a disk fault.
