Curse Client Installation Issues

Hi,

After some assistance please. I originally had V3.x of the curse client installed and decided to upgrade to V4 beta (i was on this already about a month or two back, but for some odd reason the client reverted to the old version automatically, dont ask me why, but its not the issue at hand but i just left it as that)

I came to re-install the V4.x of the client only to discover the link i used (googled) was for the curse staff only, so i promptly removed this and downloaded the correct file.

Now when i try to install either v3.x or v4.0.16 the installer goes fine through the .net installation component but i'm then presented with the "Launching Application" box containing the "Verifying application requirements. This may take a few moments" comment.

Immediately after this i receive a popup with "Application activation is not possible" "Click on the application desktop icon or select it from the start menu" and when i click OK, the installation stops.

Now all references to any previous installations have been removed, i cleaned out the registry entries, and the folder structure and menu items no longer exist. Basically there is no curse client reference on my pc, from what i know (i have even run Ccleaner's registry scan to remove any unlinked entries)

I'm at a loss with this, and wondered if anyone could shed any light onto this.

Thanks

You can correct this issue by taking the following steps.

  1. Uninstall Curse Client 3.0
  2. From the Windows Start menu choose Run (Or Windows Key + R)
  3. Enter the following, depending on your version of Windows, then click the OK button:

    On Windows XP: %userprofile%\Local Settings\Apps
    (e.g. C:\Documents & Settings\Username\Local Settings\Apps)

    On Windows VISTA / 7: %userprofile%\AppData\Local\Apps
    (e.g. C:\users\Username\AppData\Local\Apps)

  4. Delete the 2.0 folder
  5. Run or Install Curse Client v4

I am having problems as well, I have tried downloading numerous times.  The first few attempts it was telling me that it was timing out, now I am getting

ERROR SUMMARY
 Below is a summary of the errors, details of these errors are listed later in the log.
 * Activation of http://clientupdate.curse.com/CurseClient.application resulted in exception. Following failure messages were detected:
  + Downloading http://clientupdate.curse.com/CurseClient.application did not succeed.
  + Unable to connect to the remote server
  + A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond 208.116.38.235:80

Any ideas?  I have tried the advice you said above and that's when it changed from time out to the current error summary.

Thank you for your help.
