Just want to say that the updater works flawlessly so far here on vista x64.
It makes everything so much easier! Keep the good work up!

A bit of a request .
I personally use a different UI directory than UI/ProfitUI
Is there any way to add the ability to customize (in the Configuration dialog box) the UI's directory, rather than automatically forcing it to be UI/ProfitUI?
This would be MUCH appreciated, and only make my fondness for the updater and ProfitUI grow!

We have a new version of it upcoming anyway, fixing a Vista issue and adding proxy support.
Regarding the service unavailable issues we are still tracking the reasons for them, so far it appeared to have been individual ISP's that had trouble with DNS resolution. Can you access the this link to the changelog in your browser?

I am having trouble connecting. I get a "Can't Connect! Please check your internet connection settings and try again later... Do you want to change your proxy settings"? I do and enter that link that's on the installer webpage but it doesn't change.
Also I tried that link you posted earlier for people having this problem and I cannot connect to that webpage.
Any help?
Thanks

GeForceTony, I already responded to that question a few posts higher up, currently this is not supported because ProfitUI does currently not support it (and for a number of other reasons).
darkblade70, --> FAQ. And remove any proxy settings you entered unless you really do have a proxy...

I turned off my firewall and Norton and it still doesn't work. I checked my router settings and it said it had opened up a port for "ProfitUI on port 88".
I also checked that windows folder but couldn't a "Host" file. I'm on windows XP.
Any other suggestions?

You should not need to open up any ports in your router, and certainly port 88 is not one of them. Your firewall will need to allow an outbound connection using port 443, that is all. Since that is the HTTPS port, it is usually allowed by default.
Regarding the hosts file - unless that file is hidden (check in folder options that hidden or system files are visible), which I don't think it usually is, then just create a new one with notepad and paste that line into it. Make sure it is just called hosts, not hosts.txt or something like that.

The entire UI is updated, and as part of it the InfoCenter (with slight modifications).

The updater is great.
Just wanted to say thank you to gm9 and Kaldran for the great addition to ProfitUI Reborn.
One question though. Is it possible to configure the ProfitUI Reborn AutoUpdater to choose the EverQuest2.exe instead of the EQ2.exe? I didn't notice a way of choosing.
I don't like running the EQ2.exe unless there is an update by Sony, so right now I have EQ2Maps updater start both programs. It would be nicer if I could get EQ2Maps to start the Profit updater which would in turn start EQ with the EverQuest2.exe.
That make sense?

You can use the options.
There you can chose to bypass the Launchpad.

I have an interesting bug.
I patched the Test server UI the otehr day since i noticed Test PvP is up again, forgot to uncheck the box, then marked my eq2.ini as not being able to be overwritten in the updater since i made a change to it.
So i get done updating, and instead of launching EQ2 i exit out and run the EQ2map test server updater since i hadn't done it for a while.
When i run the updater yesterday to try and update a second instance of EQ2 i run on this machine, i noticed something odd:
The preferences wouldn't change. The EQ2 directory i pick wouldn't change nor would the test server preference or making a file not being able to be overwritten by the AU. I tried re-installing it with no luck.
Is there a file or a reg key that may be borked

This usually happens when the updater is not allowed to write to its config database, either because it is write protected or the updaters' permission is not high enough.
If you use your OS with restricted rights (which is default in Vista), please try starting the updater again with administrator rights. Make sure it updates itself to the latest version available (which is newer than the current download), and the problems should be gone...

Thanks for the info. I misunderstood what the Launchpad was.

It stores its settings in the user's AppData directory. For XP that is %appdata%\ProfitUI Reborn Downloader (just type that in your explorer address bar to get there).
You can just delete that folder, it will be recreated by the updater.

Since that is pretty likely an error on your side, I don't think I can do much here. Make sure any security software you have is not blocking the updater.

double check you file permission on the hosts file and make sure its not read only. this happened to me until i switched it to read and write. then it worked for me. if its at readonly it'll still act as if it is saved but you open up the hosts files you wont see the changes you made.

right click on the host file and select properties near the bottom it says attributes if the box next to read only has a check mark in it click on it to remove it hit apply then ok then it'll let you save the changes to the file

"ProfitUI UPdater has encountered a problem and needs to close"
Get this when I try to run the .exe on this desktop. Have it working fine on my other desktop and on my laptop but no clue what could be causing problems here as it's a pretty standard XP setup. Get the standard screen asking if I want to send Microsoft the error or not. Any ideas?
