Activity Forums Boris FX Particle Illusion AutoUpdate Error Message

  • AutoUpdate Error Message

    Posted by Tony Mcdermott on July 14, 2012 at 9:51 am

    Hi,

    I’ve just recently downloaded Particle Illusion SE, after having to renew my activation count.

    When I open Particle Illusion, and go to “Check for updates” and then “Download and Install” all emitter
    libraries, I get a dialogue box titled: “AutoUpdate Error” containing the error message: “Bad zip item – 65536”

    Can anybody help me with this?

    Thanks!

    I think you need to login as administrator, or r-click on the particleIllusion shortcut and “run as administrator”, then try the update.

    I’ve re-installed Particle Illusion, restarted my PC and ran Particle Illusion as Administrator, however, I still get the same error message, I can’t think what it could be.

    Thanks,

    Were you logged in as admin, or did you use “run as admin…”? Try both if you haven’t.

    If that still doesn’t work, just download the emitters from the wondertouch website and unzip them manually.
