Wowhead Update failing
Return to board index

It gets to 'Updating Wowhead_looter.xml and then pops up the nice, helpful, message "Could not update a file. Please try again later."
I tried deleting the +Wowhead_looter folder, it was recreated with only +Wowhead_looter.toc and Wowhead_looter.lua - so it's not permissions.
I tried downloading the stand alone client again, no change.
I tried running as an administrator user (using Run As)
Suggestions?

It's updating fine here. Tried reinstalling it?

download the Installation program and reinstall it.

We interrupt this transmission for a quick message...
One possibility is that maybe there is a problem with where the Client is storing it's temporary files.
What are these temporary files, their names, etc? Maybe I need to do a bit of a cleanout of the temp area that is used? Could this also lead to 'Incomplete Download' errors I have read about elsewhere?
Resuming our original transmission...
As stated in the original post, I tried downloading again.
I use the stand alone version.
As I deleted the +Wowhead_looter folder, that eliminates security as an issue ( I run as a Limited User - I have no need for admin privs, not that I can't use them if I want to).
I would simply download the addon manually, but I failed to find a link for the addon, it seems to have to be created by the client program (which is failing).
Any further suggestions?
