sphereii Posted November 28, 2017 Author Share Posted November 28, 2017 Hi, it turns out I hadn't fully deactivated norton. It works fine now, thanks. Was there an update to the mod launcher today? Norton is aggressive. A small update to allow a future mirroring effort, and allow local saves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElegantKa0s Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 I've been using the mod launcher for some great mods for a while now but suddenly today when I try to run it, it fails, Norton says I'm not allowed to use it and removes it, when I try to reinstall it, it goes all the way to 100% then this pops up; "Windows can not access the specified device, path or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item." How do I fix this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you set up an exclusion in Norton on the folder where the launcher is trying to install mods too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElegantKa0s Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 (edited) I can't even install the launcher... I tried excluding from Norton but still get the same message.

Hmm I don't use Norton so I am not that familiar with it. I don't want to tell you to turn it off either. We just need a way to get Norton to ignore it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElegantKa0s Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 It worked fine before today, that's whats confusing me...

Guppycur Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Norton was bought out by cubeii, sphereii's mortal enemy. This is his revenge... ...kidding aside, yeh a restart may help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dracos99 Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 just wanted to chime in and say great work on the launcher, it works great and gets better each release. Also, The "Refresh Mods Automatically" check box is now remembering its setting. I am not sure it is working as intended, but it is a little confusing how it is currently working since it looks like those check boxes would be tied to the individual mods based on how the UI is displayed, but it looks like the check boxes are really global settings that apply to all since checking or unchecking on one affects all installed. if they are global, maybe they need to move to the settings menu/screen (or at least a separate outline box), but if they are not, it might be another bug. Also a separate issue...on mods with a box for Server Information (like True Survival A16.2, Ravenhearst Test Server,etc.), the server Info box is being displayed in the upper right before the mod is installed and covering up part of the dialog saying it is not installed and the Download from Steam radio button text.

The UI does need some more refinements. I made the options accessible for each mod, even though they are global. This is so that they are easily visible for the user, and they are typically focused just on one particular mod. There are a lot of casual users of the Mod Launcher that may not even be aware of the menu, let along where to look for options that may help get them started I'll look and move the server info box around next update.

PAKoffee Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Issue with Install Due to some weird Windows install paranoia, I have to use the .zip files. The latest version of the .zip now produces a new issue on startup. An error making reference to "The application won't start because...side by side configuraiton is incorrect." I have had this issue with other programs because of mising runtimes, but I have all C++ runtimes (up to 2017) and .NET 4.7.1 framework installed. What did I screw up and how do I fix it?

sphereii Posted December 1, 2017 Author Share Posted December 1, 2017 4.5 won't install since I have 4.7.1 already there. Is there any other runtime needed? No, it just uses .NET 4.5. No other framework should be needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PAKoffee Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 (edited) Are you using the Release.zip package? I've never seen that error before. The one off the main post. The installer keeps getting blocked by my paranoid machine (saying the Admin is blocking it, in other words me). Downloaeded the archive again today and tried with a fresh extract just to be sure. So, yes I am using the Release.zip version. Edited December 1, 2017 by PAKoffee (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
