Java Error when Launching Updater

[betagard]

I've tried loading and launching ProfitUI Updater several times over the last few months. The Updater has never worked for me. I checked the other posts for Java Errors, but did not see anything exactly the same, but tried some of the solutions anyway. Keep getting this error:

I've tried re-installing Java, re-downloading the Updater, launching from the desktop, launching from the command line (javaws C:\launch.pnlp), launching from the website (http://updater.pala.de), turning off my anti-virus protection, checking my firewall, and of course, restarting my computer for every different action. I re-installed Java 4 times. I have Windows XP, so doesn't seem to be any connection with the Vista problems. I have to re-install Profit UI from scratch every time SOE does a major update, and it's a pain. Any suggestions would be welcome.

I have a friend with the exact same problem, and her and I went through the exact same process in attempts to install. Now she does not have ProfitUI installed. For the exact reason you say in your post (the frustration after updates). I wouldn't mind some suggestions in order to give this friend of mine a hand?

to fix his do the following

Settings -> Updater -> Reset all settings

[bazzar]

its hard to reach those settings, because the launcher wont start at all.
its becuae the java version is TOO HIGH. got this problem too, after i updated my java, because of securityholes.

Have the latest java and not getting any of these errors so it can't be the java version is too high.

EDIT: I FIXED IT!

open java settings, go to java, go to "java runtime environment settings" -> show

on my system i have 3 users and 3 productversions. the fresh updated 1.6.0_17 and _07 and _03.

i deactivated 17 and 7 and only checked version 03 (the OLD version i read about and why i said, its a version issue!)

click ok. start profit updater. allow download, install. voila: works.

----------------------------(and sorry for my bad english )




hm, ok. i just read it somewhere.

"JAR-Ressourcen in JNLP-Datei sind nicht von dem selben Zertifikat signiert."

jar ressources in the jnlp-file are not sigend by the same certificate.

whatever this means, im a javanoob and i checked all certificatesettings i could find, but nothing helped.

from the profit script:
<j2se href="http://java.sun.com/products/autodl/j2se" version="1.6.0_05+"/>

im using 1.6.0_17-b04 right now.

rest from the errormsg:

ok, i have to admit, i trusted the "version too high" variant. but it seems like its a certificate issue. problem occurred after java update. and all i can find in the java setting is to import certificates. and all i can find at the profithomepage is a fingerprint.

any ideas?

I have the exact same problem. my cure botton for group and raid stopped working. So, I tried to update and got the same error.

[Kaldran]

Takes some more time now. You should always doublecheck in which folder you are before issueing dangerous commands. At least the backup is only 10h old.

[Kaldran]

Webservers are running once again (and another backup is too ). Still looks like DNS settings have not propagated throughout the Internet yet. Give it some more hours before complaining.
If you modified your hosts file at some point in the past to make the updater work, now is the best time to remove that modification again.

[Maelya]

So what needs to be done to fix this? My updater is working fine, but my fiance's continues to get errors and will not save settings. Clicking to reset all settings doesn't do anything either. He has already uninstalled and reinstalled it as well, still no go.

[Visuo]

maybe this will help others. I run vista 64, I am quite sure I had the short cut to the updater checked to run as administrator. Seems somehow it got unchecked, so rechecking and i was allowed to enter the file paths and all now works.
