Profit UI UPDATER

[Escaav]

I have Java 1.6. I click the file. Nothing happens. It says the service is no longer available. Any ideas?

[GeForceTony]

I too get an error:

"Could not find the main class. Program will exit."

I've tried it with both Java 1.5.0.12 and Java 1.6.0.2, same thing on both.



I had this error come up once in a Java program I did back in High School (with Java 1.4) and it turned out to be a typo with the main class' naming and what it was being called as.

I too am unable to get it to run.

I get the following message:
Could not find the main class. Program will exit.

Not able to reproduce that yet. The manifest file and class naming are correct (since they get generated automatically anyways :P).
Please try to run it from command line: java -jar Updater.jar
Are you using Windows or another OS for updating?

This happens if your system has an old java version. Please download the latest Java version first.

OK, tried it via the command prompt, and this is what I get:

C:\Temp>java -jar Updater.jar
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: Bad version

This is using either Java 1.5.0.12 or Java 1.6.0.2 (the latter is the latest version available from Sun)

Also happens in either Windows XP or Windows Vista, and on 3 different computers, (my 2 and my friends, at a different location). I also made sure that port 88 is open and available, and it is.

[Kaldran]

That means your java version is not able to understand the bytecode. This usually happens if the program is compiled against a newer version of java than you are trying to use it with.

I know I get annoying with this, but please check your java version again by using java -version at command line. The current version is 1.6.0.2 Build 6. The updater got compiled against Build 5.

[gm9]

If you have the latest version you should see the following:

java version "1.6.0_02"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_02-b06)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.6.0_02-b06, mixed mode, sharing)

Downloading the latest version is a good idea in any case since it contains security updates over previous versions you might have.

Yes, this appears to have been the issue. It's running now. Thanks!

Please check if your firewall blocks outgoing connections on Port 88. Or just try again. Maybe the webserver was changing logfiles and skipped some requests.

IS there a way to add/remove files to the ignore list?
I use the defualt eq2ui_mainhud_maintained over the profit version becuase i dont want or need to see the text/timers next to my spells as i know what they all are. Thus I would like a way to not have that file overwritten all the time.....thanks

[Kaldran]

Check the FAQ on that:

How to exclude files from being overwritten?

Please note the part about 'preserved settings' is not valid anymore.

[Vanyari]

The folder issue was the problem I was having. I re-extracted and this time made sure it kept the sub-folders intact and after that it worked like a champ. Thanks for all your work on this Kaldran!

[Denuve]

Application files not found or broken. Please reinstall this updater!


The files are in their folders as directed.

\My Documents\Downloads\ProfitUI_Reborn_Updater
config folder
lib folder
updater jar file
license file
readme file

What am I doing wrong? The new java is installed as well.

[Kaldran]

Make sure you actually have the correct files in that subfolders I mentioned earlier in this thread.

[Aeromier]

Great job on the Auto-Updater....mine works great. Great job on the UI too

[v3l0ct]

I just ran it this morning and it updated to the newer version. It overwrote files that appear in the "files to ignore" section. I have a couple of suggestions:

1. Allow user to select files to ignore (and properly ignore those)
2. Instead of launching EQ2 directly, maybe have the choice to launch EQ2Maps.

[jonathn2875]

Anyway to have the updater read the eq2.ini file before check for files to update? I have two folders for my profitui one with a healer setup with differant mods and the one for my other toons.

The updater only wants to install in to /profitui folder and unless I am blind I can not see anywhere to change this path to point to other folders.

[gm9]

Sorry, the updater does not support that and it will not be added.

One of many reasons is that ProfitUI does require certain files to be in a folder named \ProfitUI, so we will not support installing in another folder.

Would it be possible to put an icon on my desktop for this auto updater ?
I got it to work finally, but now I have to go and do the: run > cdm >> Ect ect. process every time I want to run this ?

Anyone got an idea on how to make it a little more easy for me ?

[gm9]

Does just linking the .jar file not work for you?

Once Kaldran gets back tomorrow we will have to release a revised version of the updater anyway and I will include a shortcut that you can copy on your desktop.

[jonathn2875]

I really like the idea of this, but my big issues is it doesnt have the ability to deselect files you do not want updated. Other then that looks pretty nice.\

Heheh on a side note, it would be awesome for us Vista users to turn this in to a sidebar gadget that informs us when new updates are posted

But it does, please check the FAQ.

I've tried everything on the desktop to get the program to work. I've downloaded the file and tried (deleted and started again in the main HD)
I run a partitioned drive with windows in the main and EQ in the 2nd drive. I've tried to put the updated in both drives I'm runnign the current version of Java and get told nope~
Get told update service is not available at present! Please try again later. I've even went so far as to uninstall java and reinstall! It works on the laptop but not on the desktop!

No, sadly..
The only way I can get this to run is by opening a command prompt (Or what ever the name is ) and type the address in it, but then it sure works like a charm

And I would like to add that, even thou its annoying to do it every time, it still saves me time to upgrade, a nice add 10/10 from me for sure.
