The crash was very annoying... I lived with it until today when I finally checked the forums and found this thread. Please find a way to always auto-update in the future.

I made it crash? Does that count?

Unbelievable it may be but many people I know are very resistant to crashs:


"Hmm, let's try this - Uuh, it crashed - Let's just try again - Ooh, there it goes again - Oh, well I'll just try again in 20 seconds..."

If you know what I mean...;)

Ever since WoWAce got its new file manager, I've been having problems with WoWAceUpdater on my desktop running Vista 32bit with UAC turned off.
Immediately after start, it sucks up 40% CPU and takes about 2 minutes to parse the list.
Updating also takes about 10 minutes, and it hangs for another 15 minutes after update.

The popup box to ask to confirm before updating, also takes around 15 seconds to appear.

The first time this happened, there was a stack trace in the Output log where one addon's download seemed to get a timeout error.
This hasn't happened since, but the extreme slowdowns still occur.

What's strange is that it works absolutely perfect on my laptop, running Vista 32bit with UAC turned ON.

I tried doing a Control Panel uninstall following the deletion of the 2.0 folder in the AppData folder, but this had no effect.

I update WITH externals and have Automatic Dependency checked, however the problem still occurred even with that unchecked. Other than that, all settings are as default.

What gives?

Hello, I'm pretty new to using WoW Ace Updater, Ive had the last version and its always worked fine for me, but ever since I updated it I've had an issue that seems to not want to update my mods. I get a message saying "Error During Update" for all mods. Is there a fix for this?


Thanks in advance.

I cant get WAU to work at all I did what i checked the dependicies and then hit f4 and ran the updated all installed addons I get update errors and then when i start the game i get a bunch of errors. Why isnt this working right.

Reload your index and update again. I have had this happen in the past and a simple reload and update has always corrected it for me.

I got it to work i checked all installed items and reinstalled them and it downloaded a bunch of new libs and stuff looks like it worked.

I have the exact same problem as scibat in Reply #46. I run Vista Ultimate 64-bit and I've tried updating all the way up til .Net Framework 3.5 beta and I get the "Cannot continue. The application is improperly formatted. Contact the application vendor for assistance." -message. And when I click details, I get this:

Any solution for this problem?

Hello,

Searched, and also read tons of threads, looking for the answer to this issue.
I have used the updater for several months, but with the new version that installs to the program menu I have not had any luck. I went back to using an old version to update, but want to stop that.

I have the most recent WUA installed this morning again. I have removed all previous updater instances before doing so. Windows XP fully updated, IE7, but use FF as primary browser.
When I select the updater it starts, I see the window open, and then it is closed again in a flash.

I am sure I am making a simple error, but I am not seeing it.

Thank you.

Using 1.9.44.662

Just wanted to mention on start up today it seems to have 'forgotten' mods that I had set to ignore. NO a big deal and resetting them to ignore works. More an fyi then anything.

Is an option to ignore SVN folders in the addon libraries present in WAU? What I'd like for WAU to do is to update from zips and leave SVN folders alone. I've checked 'Skip SVN Working Copies' but the addons are listed under SVN and not 'installed' still.

Not sure why this was moved, and with no help or comments included.
That said, this issue I stated above is not linked to the particular version this current thread is specifically about. My solution may be solved in general by diagnosing what occured with the last 3 versions that all behaved the same on my system.

Luckily I found a 1.9.10-Version in my Download-directory on my Harddrive, everything works fine now again. A little executable in a directory of my choice, thats the way it should be.

Where can I find the old working version? Today I installed, reinstalled, installed and reinstalled over and over again but only get errors, the older versions worked fine. I rather go with a working non-supported one than a new shiny supported broken one.
