Go and ask in the tech forums. I THINK the issue can be resolved by simply making a copy and running the copy of the updater (Issue with trying to rename itself while it's in use) but not sure.
Orc&Pie No.53230 There is an orc, and somehow, he got a pie. And you are hungry.

Negaduck: I see you found the crumb. I knew you'd never notice the huge flag.
... why is it in System32? Move that thing, first. Move it to the desktop, run it, it should ask where to put COH (by default c:\program files\City of Heroes,) and *should* be good after that.
Hmm how odd. Moved it to desktop and tried running it, same error. though after it gave me the error, i tried running it again and it went fine. Bizarre but oh well.
Thanks for the help
I decided to give the game a try and figure out if I wanted to purchase it or not. Luckily I noticed a little thing about free trial download.
Unfortunately, the download doesn't want to work. It pops up the downloader then disappears really quick, pops up again and once more disappears. Quickly followed by an error message stating:
"failed to rename C:\Windows\System32\CohUpdater.exe to C:\Windows\System32\CohUpdater.prv"
Drawing a bit of a blank on what to do hear and thought it might be a mozilla issue. Given i've had a related downloading issue between Mozilla and I-net. Though Internet Explorer pretty much gave me a similar message.
I don't have a current firewall that would block it so I'm certain thats not it.
Tried looking into it and apparently Vista has some issues with CoH. Just wondering if its a Vista related issue or something else. Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks
