OK maybe its just me but I get error message after error message when installing this latest version. "error opening file to write" or something. After I "ignore" all those, (rather than abort or retry) when i try to log in, it tells me to download the newest version again. Anyone else?
Is there a fix?
Am i showing my roots again?

Thanks

You probably need to uninstall the previous version first, before installing the newest version.

It is running fine for me (and 24,000 people currently online).

have a friend keep getting the error that desktop has to run at 32bit while it`s running at 32
latest drivers, reboots, clean install etc etc etc etc, something terrible for some pc`s with this update, she`s running a gforce 6800

we`re reverting to the 15.0.3 client as that ran without a problem :/

when i tried to log in it said I needed to go to the website and download new version. I went to website, clicked on download, then download for mac...then an error message saying it wasn't found. Bizarre.

Are you using a Mac? There is a problem with the mac update, they are working on the fix.

Whats the deal with the "optional viewer" anyways? I didn't see anything in the blog about and I don't see any new release notes *confused*

PS Dnate, I couldnt get that URL you gave me to work.

I seem to be able to log in now.

Can I just say I HATE Solution Finder? Nothing like going round and round. Resident answers in Forums is much more helpful

How do you do that? I've been trying because I can't stay on for more than 10 minutes since the update, but when I do, it makes me update :P
