Core 2.3.2 update Error
 
I just tried to update the Minion Core. The process began and I was prompted to restart Minion to complete the update. I chose to restart and recieved an error box.

Here is the text of the error:

Code:
Finding MMOUI Manager...
*** Error While Updating
java.io.FileNotFoundException: minion.jar
com.mmoui.manager.updater.UpdateStatusFrame.main(UpdateStatusFrame.java:184)
What's steps should I take from here to attempt the update?

As a note, Minion still works after the failed update process.

Same here.

This would be typical if your working directory is not properly set. How are you running minion? Are you running it from the desktop shortcut? Have you followed the procedure to correct its working directory?

Not sure about the OP but it's running from a desktop shortcut and I'm not sure about what the "working directory" thing is. I looked through the FAQ and probably missed it. I don't follow all the posts on the Minion forums so I had no idea I had to fix it to update.
How do I do this "working directory" fix thing?

Thanks

I guess it's not in the FAQ for whatever reason.

Right click on the shortcut icon and choose "Properties." In the window that appears, look for a field that says "Working Directory" or "Start In" and fill it in with the location where Minion is installed (such as "C:\Program Files\MMOUI Minion")

Please let me know if this resolves the issue.

That did work to a point.
Now I get this. :confused:

I'm getting the same error and with this being a Java "applet", I do not have the normal options to run it as an admin so that I can bypass UAC. I'll keep poking and post back if I find a work around :)

Yeah I tried giving myself Full control from the security tab but that didn't work probably because I'm stupid but we already know that. :p

That did the trick with my install. The update went through successfully and Minion restarted without a hitch. Thank you :)

UAC is automatically handled. If you are having trouble with it, something else is wrong.

If you're getting the CreateProcess error, I'm not exactly sure why. It's shipped with the appropriate DLLs but I guess Microsoft is taking that control away from me. You can instead follow the instructions in the FAQ regarding this error and install the VC9 redistributable package from Microsoft's site.

Syxx 08-22-09 07:06 PM
Interestingly enough. I have that installed already.
Just to be sure I reinstalled it and tried to update minion again just to be certain.

I still get the exact same error.



:D

Shirik 08-22-09 07:15 PM
I apologize for not being clear, if this affects you. This is always a 32-bit application being run. You will need the 32-bit redistributable installed.

Is that installed?

Ok, the FAQ write up on that error makes it sound as if you should install the version for your OS. So I got a little confused. Apologies.

I just installed the 32-bit version and I do still get the same error. Weird.

Thanks

Shirik 08-22-09 07:39 PM
I'm out of options, really, at this point. The only workaround I can really tell you right now is to go to http://minion.mmoui.com/packages/minion-2.3.2.jar and replace minion.jar with that. However, this is something that needs to be addressed.

If anyone else can replicate this issue, I would love to hear it.

Thomdril 08-22-09 07:46 PM
It certainly is a possibility that it is something else, but...the original 2.3.0 and then 2.3.1 installed perfectly on this system. Thank you for posting the direct link to 2.3.2, I'll go that route. I absolutely LOVE this utility and have had absolutely no other issues with it.

If you want any specifics off my system, let me know and I'll be happy to provide them. 32-bit all the way here...until I get Windows 7 going :)

Syxx 08-22-09 07:54 PM
LOL I just fixed it.
I edited the security policy for the folder (Not the jar file) for the user account to have full access and it updated perfectly.

/facepalm

Another option is to run an elevated command prompt (start, type 'cmd', press CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER), navigate to where you installed the Minion and start it by typing 'minion.jar'.

Ok...i had the same errors.
the first one was solved by setting the working directory.
please be sure to have rights to write in this directory. i have vista 64 installed and i solved the second error bei setting the rights for my user.

Shirik 08-23-09 01:18 AM
The second being the CreateProcess error? That should have nothing to do with permissions...

ludothegreat 08-23-09 02:27 AM
Changing the security of the directory to allow it full access fixed it for me as well.
