Help me fix my updater, faq is not helping
« on: March 26, 2005, 10:48:24 pm »

It tells me to open a command prompt which i do
Then it tells me to move to the place planeshift is installed (C:\\program files\\planeshift crystal blue)
But, I have no idea how to move there :(

hmmmz, methinks to move to that folder you type in the path, or something very similar, i had to do it to crack something once. try typing in the destination folder see if that works, if not type in help and a list of commands will come up, one should say how to change the dir path

windows cmd  :rolleyes: who ever made it wasnt good at descriptions
i actually have it open too for ya :p
type this:
PROMPT C:\\Program Files\\Planeshift Crystal Blue
to change it to that directory or whicever necessary
ensure that each word and the drive name is a capital, i beleive cmd is a bit picky

oh dear oh dear >.<
go into where you have a shortcut to updater, right click select properties,
a window will open up there should be 3 editable bars, at the top one, go to the end of it (after the \") and type --auto then click apply, try that

solution simplified thanks to Gronomist ^^
Grono: Pirakika: Start > Run > CMD
then type exactly this:
Grono: cd\\
Grono: cd program files
Grono: cd planeshift crystal blue
Grono: updater -auto
