Unable to load launcher
Hi Everyone,
I apologise if I am doing something very silly but my Profit UI was working at the weekend. I am not playing that much just now because I have started a post grad degree and I am a bit busy, but tonight I fancied a bit of a play. I have had java updates over the last couple of days and today when I launched Profit, it told me that it was unable to find the application and did I want to delete the shortcut. I agreed after checking a couple of times that I hadn't done something daft. I thought I could reinstall but it seems I can't because I just get a message saying (after I launch from orange button) that it is unable to do that? I hope that it is just a bug? Cheers for any replies :) |

That post has my process for reloading the updater application and recreating the shortcuts. |

Did you run the JNLP file when prompted, or save it to disk? It only works when run directly from the browser, not when saved to disk and used.

I retried it though just in case I was doing it wrong but the same thing happened. I have also uninstalled it and reinstalled it :confused: |

The error you're getting is that it's got a mismatch between the host address it's trying to contact and the protocol it's trying to use (eg. an IPv6 address on a TCPv4 connection), and I can't imagine why that'd be happening. Unless you've got some sort of antivirus or web-proxy software running that's redirecting things oddly. Normally that wouldn't cause this error, though. It's definitely a question for Kaldran. |

I am using Firefox and I tried IE (9) which I hate anyway with a passion. But I am wondering about my security suite, although I have been using it for quite a while. It is BT Netprotect Plus (I'm from UK) and this is provided by McAfee. I would not normally use McAfee but as this is provided as part of my BT subscription it seems a good idea (unless it is causing this). I will turn it off and see if I can get Profit to load up for me and I will edit this post. :) OK.... that didn't work but I only shut it down. Would I have to completely uninstall it to see if it worked? |
Just did a factory restore so came back to grab a new UI. Followed instructions to the T but when I open that site and click the orange "Launch" button it doesn't do anything but give me an address thats not active. Windows 7 64 bit and IE9.
Edit : Okay I went and deleted my java folder and updated the latest version. Working so far but encountered another problem. It's on my end. Thanks. For those encountering the same problem, here is the latest java update as of Nov. 7th, 2012. http://www.java.com/en/download/ie_manual.jsp?locale=en |
Not sure if this will help or not.. I tried for an hour to help someone get ProfitUI updated yesterday, and finally used Remote Assistance to see what's going on. If you're using the Chrome, it may not let Java run the updater to fix everything. Oh.. and please don't try to update/reinstall from the online Launch with the game running.. Person also had an issue with the updater opening behind the game, and they never saw it (game full screen on a second monitor)
Please use IE, Firefox, or Opera. Click the orange Launch button, and pray. If that doesn't work, check that Java is up to date. |
Still nothing works for me :(

I am also having an issue when I try to use the Updater. I am using Win 8. I deleted and reinstalled Java. When trying to follow the tips for reinstallation I get an error " Failed to launch application " the error im seeing is

My updater works but on my main machine, java throws an exception before finishing the update. The updater page tells me I can delete from Control Panel. What would the name be? I see no ProfitUI Updater in the installed list. Do you mean uninstall Java itself and reinstall? Would like to get rid of this java bug.

My Profit UI updater throws a exception error box now when it starts and I just close it and the updater starts up and works normally.
I can fix this like I have in the past by deleting and reinstalling the Updater or resetting shortcuts or by reinstalling java after a thorough uninstall and cleaning. I just don't nitpick with the stupid java exception error box now and close it and the updater comes up after and works normally cause this happens like once a month now. After the fourth time now I just don't care about it. |
OK here is what has happened now.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled both Java and Profit several times now. This time I went in to game just to play with default UI. Guess what? Profit was still there but with a message from EQ2 to update my custom UI or use default. I logged out to investigate. No profit to uninstall via the usual uninstall list. I found the folder still there in the programmes menu, but it was empty so I deleted it. I did a search for profit which generated over 5000 entries most of which could not be located. Re downloaded both profit and java, just to have the same thing happen all over. Perhaps time for a reinstall of OS etc, unless anyone comes up with any other ideas? :nana: |
Finally got it fixed and it is now updating, but it did take a full reformat and reinstall to achieve that! So I still don't know what the problem was.:eek:
Anyway thank you to all of you who tried to help out. It was appreciated :D |
Ahhh, but it does not show when I open the game now. I got the window up to select profit UI but nothing changes in the UI, it still looks like the default :(
