WoWReader Issues & Help (v.4)Follow

I'm having the same issue. I also have a new PC with Windows Vista. I tried also running the program as an administartor and was not able to launch the program. Any help would be appreciated.

PLEASE, get rid of all the private server things. They're really annoying. There's like 3 Kael'thas, tons of "GM" items (with GM in the name, mind you), multiple twin blades of azzinoth, legendary flying mounts, and so on....

Probably not.

The problem I'm having is that my alts don't show all of my quests. My mage, Sodaminsane, has about 12 quests currently, but the site here only shows 5. Everything is fine for my main character, Jorodd. Any ideas?

I just installed it thats what come up in the error log.

This just started happening out of the blue! Here's my error...

Error writing wowreader.exe: Access to the path "C:\Program Files\Wowreader\-wowreader.exe" is denied.

When I click "Ok" it closes and tries again, over and over until I cancel/close it by clicking the little "close" box on the upper right of the progress window that pops up as it's trying to start. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but no change.

WTF? I haven't changed a thing! It WAS working fine.

(Sorry about the repost, I must have clicked the wrong posting link before)

ISSUE RESOLVED!! Sorry, I figured it out myself. I just set Wowreader to run as adminitrator and it updated fine. Thanx! :)

I get an error when using WowReader.

Sometimes it crashes and I get that error. Other times it allows me to choose the location of WoW.exe, and then after I do nothing happens.

I am sure there will be an answer here somewhere but for some reason the reader has cleared down all my quests and after trying to get it to work no joy. I would apreciate any help this issues occured to me since the last patch.

I'm getting a similar message, except it's 'C:\Users\<myusername>\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\World of Warcraft\WTF\Account\'

Oh, and it's never required me to run it as an administrator before -- now, when I run it, it pops up some B.S. about "cancel or allow" and when I click allow it fails with no error message at all (the first time). If I run it a second time (or run it as an administrator the first time), that's when I get the "SavedVariables search" error message. I click OK and it goes to the WoWReader main screen, but won't load the cache.

I deleted WoWReader and re-installed it. I deleted the Wr2.lua and Wr2.lua.bak files from the SavedVariables folder buried deep within my WoW folder, and I've deleted the Cache sub-folder from my WoW folder. Ran WoW, logged in, logged out... Still the same problem. My computer froze up (it IS 64-bit Vista after all) last night, and I was forced to run ScanDisk upon rebooting -- but WoWReader worked fine after the freeze-up/ScanDisk last night. It's today that the problem appeared -- nearly a full 24 hours later...

Is there a solution to this?! I've been using WoWReader for many months now, and have never had a single problem with it. PLEASE tell me how to fix this!

I am experiencing the same thing here as last two posters. It started yesterday afternoon after it has been working for many months with no problems other than the usual wait for patch updates. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling with no change. I am using Windows Vista Business 32 bit.



Additionally, I am frustrated and irritated that I have to do the UAC confirm thing for "An unidentified program wants access to your computer" (Cancel or Allow) every time I want to run WowReader.

Theres a new version up that should fix the error you're seeing.

The only time it should ask for administrator access is when it's installing a new update, which should be pretty rare.
