When it's autoupdating, it tries to rewrite a file, then fails and asks if I want to retry...I retry, and it fails again.
Tried with a clean install, didn't help.
I'm running Windows 7. Will post specs and system info as soon as I have time (school is calling).
Client won't update properly
Have you tried "run as administrator"?
For me it sound like you use an old installer. You can download the latest one from http://getsetup.alleg.net.

Tried the new installer, ran everything I could as an administrator, and got the same message:
Code 183: cannot create a file when that file already exists.

Dest: \filelist.txt
Do you wish to retry moving the files?

It confuses me. I ran it just fine before the update

That error appears, if the program doesn't have write permission on file system.Funji wrote:QUOTE (Funji @ Nov 20 2011, 02:39 AM) Code 183: cannot create a file when that file already exists.

Weird. It installed previous updates just fine. Would reinstalling in a different place help? (I'm testing this now actually)
Test finished. It updated and launched properly when I DIDN'T install it in the C drive. Should have known, heh.
