Problem with installer?

[Gryfen]

Is there a problem with the installer, I just tried to re-install FG2 on my comp with my key and all i get is the updater... am I doing something wrong or is it an issue with the installer?

[Griogre]

I'm not entirely sure you have a problem. Since FG2, the installer just pretty much just sets up the online installer. The online updater does most of the actually installing. Does the updater not work?

[Gryfen]

It starts up... Opens a window ... fantasy grounds updater... Then gives a message ...

Getting package listing
Done

And sits there... does nothing else.

[Griogre]

After you click done can you use the "Host a Game as a Gamemaster" if you have the full version or "Join a Game as a Player" buttons?

In the top right of the splash screen does it say v.2.3.6? Or are you not getting the splash screen?

[Gryfen]

There is no splash screen... just the updater window.

[Gryfen]

This is the window that opens up... and thats all.

Having the same problem. Hadn't used FGII in a while, but was firing it up for a game this week and the rulesets didn't show up, so I did a reinstall. Ever since...I'm seeing the same thing as Gryfen.

In the FGII root directory, the Updater program and main program appear to be the same file--both 152 kB files from 4/4/07 at 1:34 pm.

OK...my apologies. The solution to the problem was nicely described in the sticky above (Updater problems (no packages found)).

Need to look more carefully before I post...

[Gryfen]

I just saw the Sticky post as well... and it fixed my problem too ( Forgot the dashes) Funny thing is.. I tried reinstalling with random numbers and got an "Invalid Key " error message... So i figured that wasnt the problem. ah well... No big deal works now... Thanks.

Glad you both got it working. :)
