WowReader Issues and HelpFollow

#502 Jan 26 2006 at 7:41 AM Rating: Decent
I can't get WOW Reader to get my stuff to upload to show my character. It says it uploads it on the program but not here.

I've heard a rumor about WoWReader being "hacked" by Chinese, and that through this "hack" they can gain access to your WoW account.
True? or is it plain neglect from the user for not running antivirus software properly?

I need to ask you this. I have some inter-process protection installed because of some spyware/malware problems we've been having, and it reports when programs try to mess with other programs on the PC. Your WowReader program was recently "busted" for trying to read stuff in an unrelated process. I told the protection suite "no, deny" and WowReader apparently went on about its business and uploaded my character profiles normally.

What are you looking for and what are you doing reading other processes? Why is this necessary to perform WowReader's function and can you stop it?

Well, I don't know anything about this rumor, but as long as you download the official version of wowreader from here, you can be safe in knowing that it never looks at or has any way of even knowing what your wow account password is. If something is stealing passwords, it's not wowreader.

It's difficult to say for certain without more details, but most likely it's seeing wowreader scan the process list to check and see if wow is running. It does this occasionaly so that it can automatically upload new data after you exit wow, if you've left it running in the background. It's not doing anything malicious and never directly examines any other processes - it simply queries the list and checks if any are named 'wow'.

Thanks for the (probable) explanation that the read-access violation is happening because of EnumProcesses() or a similar call. You might possibly want to add a checkbox option to prevent this process search, lest people get worried.

The funny thing is, though, I can run other process listers and not get that same error from my protection suite.

So you might want to check to see whether you're trying to do anything else (or the library you're calling is inadvertently trying to do something else) as it walks the process list.

Umm, I'm new to the game and just downloaded Wowreader whenever I try to run the program it says:The system cannot find the file specified.


************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just in time (JIT) debugging, the config file for this
application or machine (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the machine
rather than being handled by this dialog.


It says I need this but I'm not great with computers and I have no idea on how to do this so please help.

This had been bugging me for a while. Everything seems to be working fine but I never seen anything in the "uploaded" column when I run the program to upload and I get the feeling that nothing is getting sent.

I did a forum search and the last update I found on the status of a Wowreader version for the macintosh was back from August 2005. I've also found the FAQ answer, but I was just curious if there was any news. I use the hell out of Allakhazam and would like to contribute raw data as well as have my profiles available (and keep my membership paid up). Any hope for us mac types at all?

Hello, I just installed WoWReader and cannot even get it to start. It gives the following error:

Quote:

Error downloading update: The format of the file 'System.Xml' is invalid.


It the proceeds to show a box with a progree bar and 'Downloading patch.xml' that just sits there.

I have Microsoft .net Framework version 1.1.4322 installed.

I fired up WOWReader today, it patched, and now it just endlessly loops throwing up "test" dialog boxes. If I try to kill it via hitting the X button on the window frame, it just pops itself right back up. I have to go to task manager to kill it.

What's going on here?

My sig is getting updated, but the profile itself is not. I logged in and out a few times, relaoded, refreshed, everything.

If you wanna see what I mean, see the number of HK's in my sig? Says 10,296, when you click the link I get 10,197 which is from my last upload.

That being an example, it also does not load my new gear I want to display. Help please?

Sorry, some debugging stuff accidently snuck in. Should be fixed now.

as mentioned above, set boni such as Prayer of the Primal
or the 4mana/5sec from the Priests' ZG enchant are not added
as can be seen here:

edit: also reputation seems to be read incorrectly.

This might have been answered before, but it's hella long.

I get a error and it says

Application has generated an exception that could not be handled.

Process id=0xcdc (3292, Thread id=0x78c (1932)

Several versions later and I still get the following error if I try to restore WowReader after it is minimized to the system tray.

I use a proxy server to get out to the net so when I open WoWReader it just hangs at the "Patch.xml Downloaded..." part. What it actually downloaded was a message from my proxy saying that the request was blocked. Is there a way to force WoWReader to go out on a different port or use a different proxy?
