Updater Crashes Instantly Upon Startup

[Telex]

I installed Doom 3 in the following folder,

 

C:\Games\Doom3

 

I install the patch, and the game seems to run fine. I then install the Updater into the following folder,

 

C:\Games\Doom3\darkmod

 

When I start the updater up, it thinks for a moment before flashing an error message. I tried to take a screenshot of the message to show you guys, but it simply moves too fast. I made out the first word as Can't, but other than that, it simply was too fast to make heads or tales of. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the game and started the whole process over from scratch several times to try and make it work, but I get the same result every time.

 

Has anyone else had this problem? Is there something evident that I'm missing? Thanks in advance.

Clear out your temp directory. On Vista it's at C:\Users\[your Windows user name]\AppData\Local\Temp. On Windows XP it's at C:\Documents and Settings\[your Windows user name]\Application Data\Local Settings\Temp.

 

You can also find it by clicking Start, then Run, then typing %temp% and pressing Enter.

 

Once there, delete everything you see in that folder.

@other helpers: I've put this solution in the wiki, seems nobody remembered to add it before now.

Click Start > Run and enter %Temp% You will see a list of temporary files that can all be safely deleted. Delete them.

Haha, thanks guys. I'll do that when I get home today and let you know how it goes.

 

EDIT: Tried it out, and the updater is now working just fine. Thank you guys for your help
