New updater and deployment
I am looking for some guinea pi.... users to test a new version of the updater and its method of deployment. Using Java webstart technology the installer and wrapper files will become redundant and many problems with the JNI interface will be fixed. Further it will be way more chatty about things going wrong.
If you like to help ironing out left bugs, please send me a pm including what OS you are using (if Linux please include the desktop environment as well). Especially users still experiencing the 'can't connect' bug are very welcome to join. The updater will replace the old one, so no need to run two different versions. May take a few days though til you get an answer or links to it. |
There is a linux client?!?
|
Updater? Since there is no OS dependent part required to run, it should work fine within linux.
EQ2? Use Wine. |
ProfitUI updater works fine on Linux (already the current one, see install instructions), and I have guildies running EQ2 on WINE with no issues.
|
As there seems to be no issues with it, I am releasing the new updater to the public. I'll give it a few days of 'beta testing' before forcing the old ones to update.
Please visit http://updater.pala.de and try to break it (not the webserver! :P ) Installation should be quite intuitive. |
I am deploying an update to the old updater so it will show up a message telling you to update to the new version right now.
Please make sure you start using the WebStart version since the old updater will stop working in the near future... |

Kaldran, looks like you broke it. :D
|
I just updated my patcher and now I am getting a msg to download it manually.. Is this related or some other issue?
Says to visit http://updater.pala.de Thanks! Btw, any vivox mods/ui enhancements to speak of? :) |

If you previously modded your hosts file to make it work, maybe try to revert that change. Quote:
Please make sure EQ2 isn't running while you update, maybe that file is locked for whatever reason... If you use Vista or an OS with restricted user rights, run it as administrator. Would be wierd though, since the updater checks write access to EQ2 base directory first. Quote:

Hello,
the updater is very nice but i use first the map updater from eq2map and then from ProfitUI. After the last Update i dont can use it and an errormassage come.... Hallo, das automatische Updatetool ist echt nett. Ich verwende aber erst den Updater von EQ2MAP und habe dann auf den des Profit UI verwiesen. Nachdem der neuste Patch aufgespielt wurde funktioniert das aber nicht mehr. Ich habe auch schon all das gemacht was man manuell machen kann aber trotzdem kommt die Fehlermeldung bzw. ich kann nicht auf das Programm zugreifen. |

Administrative Rights(July 5, 2008)
Just went to http://updater.pala.de like the message box told me, did the steps, etc. Java starts up the updater, and finds two files that need updating. When I click Update Files it says I don't have administrative rights....well, I do. I've never had this problem before, I am the only user on my computer, with full rights, etc(obviously).
Any help would be greatly appreciated. :) (oh and I did the steps both in FireFox and IE) EDIT: Using windows XP 32, Home Edition. :P I just noticed you moved my thread into this one... |
~cries~
I have been using profit for awhile...and love it!! Had to reformat my computer yesterday and went to re-install.....i get an error message saying i must have admin rights...which I do...onlu user of my computer...made sure to even set run as admin in properties...i can download or overwrite anything else....but this..please help...raid tonight and i need my click-to-cure!!

I am getting the same Error as tallcooltrish, it is saying I don't have write permissions for the folder, even though I specifically went in and modified the folder to have write permission, and then tried running as administrator as well.
|
Well I hope Kaldran knows the answer/fix to this one.
Karyssa, in the meantime there is always the manual install version of the UI if you need the files. |
I'm also getting the error saying I don't have write permissions, even though I am administrator. I also don't get the "Run as Administrator" option when I right click it like I do when I start everything else. Not sure if that is related or not.
|
I'm also getting the error about not having write permissions (running Windows Vista). I launched the shortcut using the 'Run as administrator' option, that didn't help. I also opened permissions on the UI folder to allow all accounts to write to that folder, that didn't help either.
|
I had issues with saying Application Could Not Load or such.
So, I went to http://www.java.com and downloaded latest Java. After updating Java the ProfitUI Updater installed. |
So...
I download this new thing, yesterday, that Mr. Keldran says to download and install.. today, I get up to start eq2map that then starts Profit and profit takes me straight to eq2. Never had a problem. But today, I start the eq2map that runs thru fine. But once it starts Profit updater it tells me i need to do the damned install all over again. Now, I am visiting the BF and using his pc and I'm going to hate hearing his mouth if something got messed up, lol. Funny thing is, I can load up Profit by its icon, no problem. It just won't do it from eq2 map anymore. Whats the deal? I've already installed your update once, already. Any idea why I can't do it the way I prefer and normally do? Why is it still telling me I have to install an update I already installed? (I know I can switch the order of how I run my updaters, like gm9 said, and I did. But I was hoping there was answer so that I don't have to. ) How necessary was this update cause I was reluctant to do it initially. Now I will be sad if his game gets messed up cause I updated something. |

Unable to install new updater
I'm getting an error in trying to install the new updater. I updated java, that didn't work. I uninstalled java and installed again and that didn't work either.
