Test server problems

Ok, been trying for the last couple of days to figure this out and I'm at a loss.

I run the updater and when I click next it just does nothing. Sends me right back to windows, the updater closes out and CoH test doesnt start up. Any idea what gives?

You'll have to bypass the updater (it's the only thing that finally worked for me). In the CoH test directory, create a shortcut to the CityOfHeroes.exe file (not the CohUpdater.exe file), and add "-project cohtest" to the end of the target line (don't include those double quotes, of course).

Gotta say that worked. But why. What the heck is wrong with the updater that it's doing that. And is this going live?!
