More info on errors while updating.

Keep in mind this is a new install from the latest program link.

When Updating I get this error:
Unknown Error: EQ2MAP_Updater
at EQ2MAPUpdater.GlobalVariables.ReadConfigValues()
at EQ2MAPUpdater.MainWindow.FormMain_Load(Object sender, EventArgs e)

When closing the program I get this error:
Error saving your changes to the configuration file
Object refrence not set to an instance of an object.
at EQ2mapupdater.GlobalVariables.WriteConfigValues()
at EQ2mMapUpdater.MAinWindow.Form1_Closing(Objectsender, CancelEventArgs e)

I saw someone refrecning a config.cfg file supposedly to be present in the eq2updater folder but I dont see one whan I look. This could be totally irrelevant.

Great program I used it a year ago when I played I want to use it some more :)

The program should create one if non exist, but by some reason it fails :(

Are you admin on the computer ?

It looks like the newest version neither distributes nor creates a configuration file (eq2map_config.cfg). If I make a null file with the old config file name (eq2map_config.cfg) I get different error messages.

Error Message WITH a null config file:

What windows version do you use and I assume you have administration rights?

For now, you can try copying this into that empty cfg file..

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>

<ConfigOpt>

    <OptionName>AutoUpdate</OptionName>

    <OptionValue>True</OptionValue>

Using windows xp sp2 and yes i have admin rights. I tried to make my own config.cfg using the code above but that dident work. Thanks for the response though.

Seems fixed to me. Another job well done! Just a note I did have to delete it everywhere i could find it and then install the newest version before it stopped spitting the error.

And another thought. Might be a good idea to require those looking for answers to provide you with any UI's they may be using in case of conflict. IE I was using thorui no idea if it was part of the problem but regardless its all good now :)

Thanks Loads
