Updater keeps booting instead of launching dexpot

Postby bugeye999 » 21.09.2012 01:35:49

After the update, whenever dexpot launches, the updater starts and "installs the update". After, it offers to start dexpot, but instead just starts the launcher again. It does this even after a reinstall.

:dex:

Delete the "update" directory from your Dexpot installation folder, usually C:\Program Files\Dexpot\update.

When you did the "reinstall", did you download the new version from our website and install that or actually reinstall the version you already had?

And for the record, the updater does still keep popping up even after installing the version from the website.

This is only possible if there is an "update" folder as mentioned above. If you have UAC enabled (Windows Vista/7/8), check the Virtual Store: C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\VirtualStore.

Thanks a lot, deleting the update folder in the AppData folder fixed the problem!
