Curse seriously cursed

Okay here's my problem....Curse (which was designed to automatically install addons) ISN'T AUTOMATICALLY INSTALLING ADDONS ANYMORE! I click the "Install with Curse" link on any addon on the site and it says its being downloaded & installed and shows up as such in Curse's list of installed addons, but there are no files physically copied to my machine.

 

So I figure its gotta be this new FireFox 3.5 and go into Curse itself to search for Addons and try that way. Same result.

 

It says downloading, then extracting, then installing but no new files are put into my Addons folder

 

Running Vista Ultimate 32-bit SP2

Curse Client 3.0.0.7

jonseyh09,

What are the path and permissions settings for your game folder?

Report this thread post Locked

C:\World of Warcraft (executable)

Permissions (as far as I can tell are)

Everyone-Full Control

Creator-Owner-special permissions only

System-Full Control

Batch-Full Control

Service-Full Control

Administrators-Full Control

Authenticated Users-Full Control

MyUsername-full Control

and C:\World of Warcraft\Interface\AddOns (addons directory)

 

Running Vista Ultimate (32-bit) and have ensured (multiple times) that Curse is running as an Admin and that firewall rules are set to allow it access

did you validated that the CC is configured to put file into that directory?

Don't think that is the correct addon folder for vista

C\Public\Game\WoW\Interface\Addon is the correct path

addon are inside the wow directory, but if you didn't pickup the right directory then you need to set your wow directory properly.

Hes right, vista sucks. You are installing in the wrong directory.

"C:\Users\Public\Games\World of Warcraft\Interface\AddOns" is the default directory for Vista.

Moderator, Curse.com

This thread and this thread will answer most addon troubles.

e:\games\whatevergame it is for me, easier to manage and avoid vista loophole.

It might be the default directory, but I'm telling you I personally installed my WoW into C:\ drive and not the default path

Code:
 C:\users\public\games\WoW
Also I have a laptop and don't have the luxury of multiple hard drives.

jonseyh09,

 

If the permissions and path you described are correct (and the Manage Games options point to that folder), then it should be working. Do you receive any errors in your CurseClient.log?

Here is my entire CurseClient.log file starting from July 13, 2009 (when I last) reinstalled it until now. I found it in

Also there is now another twist on all this junk....when I go to update an add-on the client says "Updating", "Downloading", "Extracting/Installing" and then says that the add-on is updated in the Curse Client list, but all it has done is delete the old folder (and addon) without updating it at all! End result-it is as if the add-on has been uninstalled and not updated.

 

So brief recap here: Curse Client won't download and install (any new) addons or properly update existing ones for me. However it seems to have no problem removing addons or uninstalling and reinstalling itself whenever I tell it to, not that that has fixed anything ><

jonseyh09,

I'll keep trying to help diagnose this.

 

I don't see any noticeable errors in the log, so:

* The path name doesn't have special characters - so that isn't the issue

* The permissions you quoted should work - so in theory it has write permissions

 

That leads me to believe either the folder isn't pointed to correctly, or there is a more subtle permissions issue perhaps from inherited permissions from higher level folders.

Okay this is where it started....quite a while back I was forcibly upgraded to 3.0.8 (which as we all know has some serious issues). After I hopped on the forums here and found out about the myriad of issues with it I was able to down-grade as this is one of the problems that was reported in 3.0.8, but the problem has never gone away.

Also in regards to the inheritable permissions, that is always possible, but I had tried to avoid it by placing WoW in the C:/ drive directly instead of the Users folder. I hope this helps as it took me some time to back-track and remember all of this from the past month or so.

UPDATE: After completely uninstalling Curse and WoW, manually hard-deleting the WoW folder in

Code:
c:\World of Warcraft
and then rebooting the machine and then finally after all that doing a full reinstall of first WoW and then Curse the problem still remains....WTF?!

apollopaladi,

Blizzard some time ago moved the default location for Vista from "C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft" to "C:\Users\Public\Games\World of Warcraft".  This was done because of the issues with Vista's UAC.  Now of course just as any other Windows programs you have the option to install wow where ever you like, but the default is in the "C:\Users\Public\Games\" because it is not controlled by UAC.  Here's a link to a Blizzard Support Article telling users how to remove their WTF, Cache and Interface folders and if you look Blizzard directs you to "C:\Users\Public\Games\" to find those folders in vista.
