Windower 4 Issues

Post by johnnytay » Thu Apr 07, 2016 5:57 am

Settings file in windower4 keeps resetting after its been saved when launching windower 4. I tried to install the windower4 folder in 3 different Places now, desktop, download folder and in programfiles. All results in the settings file beeing resat back to the way it was before i made the changes in it.

I also tried making the notepad file outside the windower folder and copying it in, running windower as admin aslo did not work.

Any ideas?

Thanks

can't reproduce so not sure.

Try opening notepad as admin, then edit settings?

can give that a shot.

usually caused by invalid paths in your config.

Bad:
C:\my path here\\fileName.exe

good:
C:\my_path_here\fileName.exe

good:
"C:\my path here\fileName.exe"

And I don't recommend putting anything in program files that an installer didn't explicitly put there btw.

Since my current issue is related to the same program but different error i hope people don't mind if i continue on here

Anyway whenever i try to login to my server with Windower it's having problems resolving the server name now i've checked the settings.xml file for Windower and the lan_config file for the server itself any suggestions?

Edit: Forget this post i had it set to attempt to connect to somewhere else instead of localhost
