Update 1.7-1.7b searching entire hard drive

(1/4) > >>

jon_joy_1999:
so. I downloaded the update, and I'm trying to run it, and it says "Searching." and is displaying a huge number of files. I want to know, searching for what, exactly? NORAD launch codes? my secret stash of porn? I'll tell you one thing, it clearly isn't searching for SexSim, because it's completely looking on the wrong harddrive.

When will the updater be properly coded to use the INSTALLATION information that was created when I installed SexSim instead of using DerpMode to scan every drive on my computer?

Giselle:
No need to get snarky. The patch is properly coded to first search the registry for the Path to Sex Sim. It searches for the sexsim.exe file.

If it can't find the installation path in the registry info it then searches three places on your hard drive for the program. It searches the default install location (C:\Sex Sim), then the Program Files Sex Sim folder, then the Program Files\Ripened Peach Entertainment folder.

If it can't find the info in the registry then there is something wrong. It then tries to find it on your hard drive, but in a proper installation it will find it in the registry.

Do you already have Sex Sim installed? Where is it installed to?

If you have trouble with the installer, then it's probably easiest to download the currently up to date full version and install that.

jon_joy_1999:
yes, I have it installed to "G:\Sex Sim", and this is searching through more than just three locations. it's searching through my documents, through %appdata%, and through folders that belong to other programs, and through my other drives. I think it went through the G drive but it was a quick flash before it said it could not find Sex Sim on my computer

Giselle:
I'm looking into it and reuploading the patch to only search the registry. The drive search should not be searching those areas you mentioned. When you run Sex Sim, does it run fine or does it tell you that you need an update?

Also, what version of Windows are you running? You appear to be tech-aware. Do you have any sort of special installation or setup that might give a clue as to why the patch isn't working for you?

jon_joy_1999:
Sexsim is not telling me there is an update available. I found out about the update via the email sent earlier today. Sexsim is reporting version 1.7, and not 1.7b.

I have installed Sexsim to a TrueCrypt encrypted drive that is indicated as removable in My Computer.
