I am getting the error Istalling addon failed evertime i have tried everything...........HELP!!!!!!!!!!!

Same here, I cannot get any addon updates to download.  The download just keeps failing.

Update.  I completely shutdownt he Curse client and restarted it and it worked.  Not sure why but it did.

that didn't solve my problem

I am moving this to the support thread.

Hi everyone, Kaelten directed me here as this appears to be a serious issue.

Can I get some information regarding your settings? What operating system you are running and the last parts of your curseclient.log would greatly help in resolving this.

I am running Vista and having the same problem, can't do a single download, everything fails. I uninstalled the client and downloaded again and that has done nothing, help please.

I am getting the same problem here, but only intermittently.

OS: MacOS X 10.5.6

Client: 3.0.0.3.2

However, my problem seems to stem, I think, from my internet connection .. I have a multiple ISPs connected to a single router which load balances my connection. If I force all my internet connections to be sent through any single ISP, it seems to work fine. The problem comes I think when the router selects a different connection for each outgoing attempt. In that case I often get the "failed to download" message.

If curse communicates over a specific port, I can set the router to push all outgoing traffic to that destination port over the single connection. I have not however researched this much further than what I listed earlier. I might go through my router logs and try to determine the destination port, and try this solution. In the meantime, when I need to upgrade, I just change 

@tnedor, the client uses port 80 for all communication.  

@BertramWW, this sounds like a permission issue, I'll direct llammabark here so he can help you.

BertramWW, it does indeed sound like a permission issue.

Please try running the client as administrator as this issue could be caused by lacking write permissions to the addon directory, although it could be cause by network issues. I will be adding extra code today to try and detect and report local folder permission problems better.

Since he is on macox, I doubt it's  an administrator issue.

However, since he can get out from multiple IP with is load balancer, it might cause problem in the authentification database / protection mechanism since he come from multiple IP withing a sincle client session?

Yeah, if there are multiple ips involved that'd cause an issue. 

tnedor, check your inbox please.

and yes on my system (vista32) the client runs as admin..

*edit on*

just tried to "re-install" the curse profiler , it WORKED! (so i think i have no permisson issues.. because it worked)

yes it seems fixed and i can update again

thx ;)

I have mostly the same issue at times, but thats because of a adblocker that for some reason seems to think the curse client is trying to connect to soem sort of advertisment website, clearing links to curse.com dosent solve it and the adblocker is so dumb it dosent tell me what address it is blocking, maybe you have something similar that blocks it by misstake or is it failing at install process in which my problem is off topic... sort of.

Edit: lol seems my IE didnt want to load the whole page, i only saw the first post when i posted.

Was having this issue but I went to Tools -> Clean SavedVariables 

and clicked Remove and Close.  Fixed it right away.

Sorry this is incorrect.

My ACTUAL problem was that I did not have enough hard drive space for the addon.  It just happened to work after I did that because I tried a mod that happened to be smaller.

Check to make sure you have enough hard drive space where you are trying to install the addon.

Best of luck!

Thanks for the feedback tieme,

I'll see what can be done about detecting lack of hard drive space better.
