Updater "Can't download file"

by **capsizebuyback** » 24 Mar 2012, 06:14

Greetings,

Downloaded the auto updater (r209) but it constantly tells me it "can't download the file". I read in the bugtracker that there may be a problem if you let the autoupdater lose focus, but mine fails even if i attempt to download immediately after opening, with no other programs open.

Running windows 7 on my desktop, here.

Thanks for any help.

101 means updater can't open file for writing. Try to run it with administartor rights.

Wow. As I'm the only admin on the box I didn't think that would change anything, but it did in fact work. Thanks! Sorry for the trouble.
