FAF Installer not updating FA.exe properly

Postby FunkOff » 09 Dec 2011, 14:45

This is the error log I get when I run FAFInstaller.exe as admin:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "FAFinstaller.py", line 495, in readDatas
File "FAFinstaller.py", line 452, in handleAction
IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: 'C:\\Program Files (x86)\\THQ\\Gas Powered Games\\Supreme Commander - Forged Alliance\\binFAF\\ForgedAlliance.exe'


FAF Installer freezes on 99% and cannot fully update. :-|

Seems that even you run it as admin, it can't open the file with write permissions.

Maybe it's read-only, on your admin user don't have the rights for some reasons ?

Fixed: Just delete binFAF folder and run FAFInstaller and the whole thing works flawlessly.

Thanks reddev!
