Thanks JCL, the files were read only, and I updated again... But still says 6.11.2

:-/ I made sure all the subfolders and files were read only too, and I got no error message only a GameStudio has been updated box.

Cheers,
Alex

Still no luck Anymore ideas?

Have you extracted ackwed.dta from the update or not? What's its size and date?

1/8/2007 - 1,462 kb

I think it extracted I got no error from the update.

Edit: I right clicked and went to properties, it is read only, but I unselect it and give windows permission as soon as it's done I closed it and open it back up it's read only again??? It's changing itself back. O_o

If I recall, dta is one of the "protected" filetypes. Vista *will* take care of you. A couple of things to try...

try to change the attribute from the command line. Navigate to youre directory and use: attrib -r -a -s -h *.* /s /d

Another thing to try, rename the file to have a .txt extension. Then fix the attributes, then rename the file back to it's original name.

Whatever you do, when you get it working, please post the solution back to us. This is going to be an ongoing battle as we move into the brave new future.

Very strange, I tried what you said, and that didn't work.

I tried to update it in safe mode and it worked, I went to about and it was 6.50. However, when I switched back to normal mode it went back to the old version.

Hmm, very interesting.

Edit: Also deleted ackwed.dta and updated, no error message and a new one was created, still old version O_o

I am having problems updating also.
I got the key to install fine but the update keeps saying (sic)CRC Miss-match dll file currupt. can't update Err.#261. ugh.

Sorry for beeing off topic, but... who wants to use Vista voluntarily?

I am using Vista on my work computer because I am Director of Technology and have to find out as much about it as I can before we deploy it 08 some time.

This is actually the first problem I've had.
