problems after running updater

[pmnox]

if lib.dll is missing then you have to find file lib-cs.dll and rename it to lib.dll
I have done it for every missing file in updater and it is working again  

[Compholio]

libz.dll:
http://www.reportlab.org/ftp/win32-dlls/libz.dll-1.1.3

but that\'s not enough to fix it

[Nardia]

if possible could someone give us a run through to get past this problem ( like which file to change )

Currently teh updater is not Win98 + WinME are not (fully) functional when \"updating the updater\".

You can simply stop the command-window and the updater-programm. Then goto planeshift directory, you will find a zip-file: \"updater.zip\". Extract the files from updater.zip ... and start updater again ... voila you are up-to-date with you planeshift-installation.


Technical info:
This is a restriction of the \"FAT32\" filesystem, because if you are running the updater.exe file and you want to copy a new updater.exe this is not possible - the file is currently locked. So the the planeshift-updater tries to rename (or move) the file... this works fine on WinXP, Win2k (NTFS!) even if the file is currently locked by the running update-application. But for Win98, WinME in this case the move/rename command simply hangs (and waits for user input - which cannot be given for the background process).

Oh please, don\'t completely destroy your install!
I think the best way is to reinstall CB, wait that the devs make the correction and then run the updater...

If we start to manipulate libraries, it\'ll be a full mess in our computers... 8oD

Hmm I had found a way to run the updater however its all black and the numbers over lap but it works
if i can run ps after the update ill let you all know


EDIT:it did NOT work so yeah im now reinstalling cb completely if this works ill let you be notified

[wpdfreak]

I have this problem too. Once I update i cannot run the updater or the client.

I had the same dealie happen, but I also had to rename libpng-cs.dll to libpng.dll.

A note: make sure to leave the libpng-cs.dll file intact, apparently it needs to work, too


I love having to fix somebody else\'s code

[vrogy]

Got me client updated again, ran PS setup, got 2 dll errors. Started anyways, was useable, so I fired PS up. Got 4 missing DLL file errors IN A ROW.

C\'mon guys, this is f\'n sad.

I have tried to run game, but  one dll is still missing
TTCore.dll

[Pihhan]

hm, for playing i am missing ttcore.dll, for updater i am now missing zlibwapi.dll. But i updated to new version all other things. So it must be from libcurl.dll - it contains its name. But i dont have any of those two.

[Gorrunwe]

the server inactivity and the updater malfunction are linked.
Now that the server is working, so is it for the updater!

[Grindalyx]

I wonder if this problem is occuring because they haven\'t finished the actual update yet.

I\'m probably wrong, but it\'s something to think about, no?

EDIT:
ok, i just tried opening the client, and the server is operational.. so they must\'ve finished.. i\'ll try the updater and see what happens

[Gorrunwe]

In my opinion, what happens when the server was down is :
1) the former files are correctly renamed. No problem
2) But, there might be a second update part that consists of a recuperation of the new files from the server. But, as it was down, \"new files\" = 0

Hit Enter/Return key, or just press it if you prefer.
