DDI Character Builder update fix (maybe)
The reason I said (maybe) is because this may not work for everyone but it worked for me. Before installing the latest version of the Character Builder you should give this little tip a try, regardless of if you’re installing it for the first time or for the fifth time.
Do a search for “ddi” and delete those files, simple as that.
The character builder will toss files not just into the Wizards of the Coast main program folder, but also make folders in your “My Documents” and “My Pictures” folders as well. Uninstalling will get rid of the main Wizards of the Coast folder but the two DDI folders in your “my documents” and “my pictures” area will remain intact. From what I can tell if these folders stick around it’ll cause the character builder to grab it’s head and scream and cry a lot. If you just uninstalled the beta and find yourself not able to update, it’s probably due to some beta files left over in these folders.
I’ve got mine fully up and running now and I wish you all the luck, let me know how it goes for you all.
