So recently Curse Client (used by some games like World of Warcraft, Minecraft, Skyrim and a few more released version 5, a lot of problems have followed since.)
Now the problem i had was with the installation, program downloaded but has an error, application could not be started or something like that. So i went over to the support site (http://clientsupport.curse.com/) where they had some fixes.
Now heres the Curse Support fix http://clientsupport.curse.com/guide.aspx?id=30
1. Go to C:/users/YOUR USER/AppData/Local/Apps
And delete the 2.0 Folder, After that try to install Curse Client again, didnt work for me, perhaps it works for somebody else.
2. Install, update .Net 3.5 Client Profile/ SP1, now these should all-ready be installed you can manually re-install them but that probably isn't the case when other applications that use it are working fine. I did this but again, no luck
3. Now this is a bit retarded fix, they have a Corrupt.Net Framework program, you can get it from http://cid-27e6a35d1a492af7.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/Blog_Tools/dotnetfx_cleanup_tool.zip
It uninstalls all your .Net Framework and automatically restarts your PC, this didn't do anything, after i re-installed 3.5 still the Curse Client Installer failed.
Now for what worked for me.
4. Install .Net Framework 4.5, you can get it from here: http://www.microsoft.com/net
This has all the previous versions and should be stable with no problems. After that
5. Go and download CCleaner http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner Its free and helps you get rid of some other unwanted temp files aswell.
5.1 Run Cleaner (on Cleaner tab on your left side), this scans and deletes unused files, also wipes your browser history (uncheck if you want to keep it!), cookies, temp files etc.
After thats done
5.2 Go over to Registry Tab, and press Scan for Issues, it will find a lot of unused DLL files and so on. After Scan is complete press Fix Selected Issues, now you can back up your registry and save it as a file in case something important gets removed from registry, or you can press no and have it permanently delete all the missing files from registry.
Now you are all done, try to install Curse Client v5, it worked for me, perhaps it will for you aswell :)
Option one worked for me windows 8.1, thanks.
ReplyDeleteOption one worked for me as well but a lot of google search results with ideas rendered unfruitful so to be fair it wasn't really option one :D thanks bud
ReplyDeleteStep 1 worked for me aswell. I was going out of my mind from not being able to update my addons before raid night.
ReplyDeleteThanks a million
im pretty sure that the curse client is the problem because i get this error quite frequently and simply reinstalling the curse client fixes the issue every time. curse is a piece of garbage.... especially because config files don't get saved upon reinstalling which forces you to have to fix all your settings all over again and again and again and again and again and again...
ReplyDeleteit doesn't work with everything on windows 10
