WowReader status and help threadFollow

Issue this morning. Unable to download ??patch??.xml, connection was actively refused. After receiving the error when launching the app I could see the queued update, but if I hit Update I'd get a message that the server "Actively refused" me. @work don't have the message in front of me, but will update this if it's still an issue tonight.

My profiles are blank. It used to work fine. Upon /wver ingame i get the message that WoWreader 1.52 has been loaded.
OS: WinXP
Client: English
Server: Aggramar (English)

Char Anathema:
Race: Night elf
Class: druid
profile: wow.allakhazam.com/profile.html?85661

Char Crais:
Race: Human
Class: warlock
profile: wow.allakhazam.com/profile.html?85674

I also noticed something:

According to this quote, there was/is something wrong with the fist profile, but not the second. However, the first profile in the quote shows fine when I click on it, but the second gives a blank profile, just like my profiles :/
Any idea's or suggestions are welcome

Same problem for me. I even tried different browsers, but don't get more than the "about" note.

Oh, I was starting to think I was the only one getting errors and stuff. Heh.

Hi,
every time i try to install the WR i get this message when it trys to connect

Download of required components failed. possible reason include:

1. you canceled

2. You do not have an internet connection right now. Please connect to the internet and run the installation again.

3. the connection to the server timed out.Please try running the installation again,or installing the .net framework yourself.


1. No i did not cancel it.

2. I have a internet connection i am posting this.

3. maybe it had timed out, and yes i have tryed to run it for the last 3 days. I have no idea how to install the .Net my selfe if some one could help me install it myself.

So is Wowreader officially dead? Seems it hasn't worked right in 5 months, and with no feedback officially, I can only assume that's the case, too bad, it was kind of a cool utility for sharing eqp/stats/setups.

I was able to download, install, and run it, even upload, but my profile didn't update. Go figure.

I wrote a few posts back that all my profiles were blank. Well they're working normally again. I don't know what you've changed, but it worked :)

I hate to repeat what appears to be a semi-frequent request, but maybe showing interest in it will help it become a reality. A mac ver of WoWreader would be very nice. I'd love to help make it a reality in any way I can. Please let me know if I can aid a mac version of the project(I know a few mac programers that are also big WoW fans). Thanks

Hi, was wondering how WOWreader gets price data. Does it do it just from auction house search results? That method is not awful, but is can be inaccurate since those are just advertised prices, not completed sales.

An alternative method is to collect data only from completed sales. Capture the data when the successful seller checks his mailbox--you can get the item and the exact sale price at that moment. This is the method that WOWEcon.com is advertising.

Thanks!

After doing some digging, I found that this error is probably due to a bug in earlier versions of .NET. Its supposed to be fixed in 1.1 SP1, which you can download from microsoft here. Let me know if this helps or not.




Yes, it uses auction house search data, with the idea being that the mass amount of price data found that way, inaccuracies would just be rounded out after a while.
