You may find that using a launcher + editing MPQ files is too complex just to make a modification. I've packaged a Hello World Map with a bat file that allows you to just launch a map and make galaxy modifications easily.
How to use it:
- Download and Extract the SC2HelloWorldMap.rar (http://forums.sc2mapster.com/general/general-chat/199-how-to-load-a-map/)
- Edit the MapScript.galaxy file
- Run the launch.bat
- Enjoy the map with Starcraft 2
The trigger debugger is enabled and let you see some interesting informations.
I hope it will help you get started with map editing :)
Note: This is using Ladik MPQ Editor and Lazyloader2 underneath.

Testing...(obliously when I have some time lol).

When you launch it there should be 3 AI, the debugging window should be open and the hello world appear.
Maybe you changed some of your installation files and corrupted it? I just asked few people to test and that was working for them.
i just tried it and i got the same thing, no anything just shows a blank map.
doesnt work
