Degrees Posted March 14, 2004 Share Posted March 14, 2004 Downloaded the Feb 2004 update, unzipped it to the autopatcher folder, ran it. I get a database error. Then I came here and saw a sticky about a new DB that you could d/l and use to replace the old DB. Ran autopatcher again and I got the same error again. Can anyone help me?

Degrees Posted March 14, 2004 Author Share Posted March 14, 2004 I'm pretty sure the download wasn't corrupted like the other 10 times I tried it. The extraction went fine. I hope I don't have to d/l it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope I don't have to d/l it again. Interesting... when you updated the database, did you update the exe too? Also, in the bin folder, does it have 11 files? Wanna make sure, since any of those missing could cause the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Degrees Posted March 14, 2004 Author Share Posted March 14, 2004 I do have 11 files in the bin folder, but I didn't update the exe. After updating and swaping the exe files, I get the same error message once more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akaladis Veteran Posted March 14, 2004 Veteran Share Posted March 14, 2004 you got admin rights and all? try to manual copy all the files found in \db folder into your Windows System folder (usually c:\windows\system32) overwrite old ones if prompted tell us if you see any file which refuses to overwrite (in other words if a file is used by another program) /Raptor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Degrees Posted March 14, 2004 Author Share Posted March 14, 2004 I copied 3 files in the db folder to system32, there were no overwrite prompts. Got the same error message afterwards too. Looks like this is gonna be tricky to solve... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Degrees Posted March 15, 2004 Author Share Posted March 15, 2004 Oh, so take the 3 files in db and move them to the bin folder? Do I rename/overwrite anything? This is what's in the db folder.

akaladis Veteran Posted March 16, 2004 Veteran Share Posted March 16, 2004 as flishy said, copy the files found in \bin folder into the system32 folder and try running autopatcher again... dont move the files... *copy* them :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Picturepete Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 I had the same problem, it turned out to be the database folders had an underscore added to the name ie:autopatcher_core... not autopatcher core... in fact it has put an underscore in all the files and folders that have a space in the name. Removed the underscore and put in a space and Voila! I think it might have had something to do with the transfer to a cd I am not to sure. Hope this helps Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
