New updater and deployment

[Kaldran]

Updater? Since there is no OS dependent part required to run, it should work fine within linux.

EQ2? Use Wine.

[gm9]

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...

Hi !

I've got the same error box that a lot of people (apparently).

I launch the .jnlp without problem, it shows me 2 files to update but when I click on the Update button.... "Missing write permissions !! [...]"

More infos :
* I'm Administrator !!
* I'm on Windows XP !!
* There's no "Execute As..." on a .jnlp file. But if I use "javaws.exe" with "Execute As administrator" enabled, i've got the same error !
* I've the latest jdk/jre installed !
* All users have "Total Control" on the EQ2 folder
* My EQ2 is not running at all !

Any answers ??

I will try the manual update since the updater was Fixed (i hope soon !!)

Have a good day !
