Error Updating Ares - Beowulf - 11.06.2010
Every time I try to download Ares through LB, I get an error saying it can't unpack the file. I see the thing download, but it won't ever unpack.
I am running the latest LB from the site, but I can't get this to work, and it's holding me back.
Maybe I'm doing something wrong, I don't know.
RE: Error Updating Ares - Renegade - 11.06.2010
The last two lines are missing a ".gz" in the path, that could be related.

That's kinda what I thought, but there isn't much I can do about it, I don't think.

Is anyone else having this problem?
Can you check your LB\Resource directory and remove anything named *ares* and any subdirectories to see if that solves the problem?
Unfortunately I'm without internet for the next few days but I'll investigate and (if I can replicate) try to provide a fix asap.
RE: Error Updating Ares - Beowulf - 12.06.2010
Did that, but it had no effect. It's trying to unzip the wrong file. I'm fairly certain that's the issue.

Is this still a problem Beowulf? I can't replicate it. DCoder mentioned there was some svn reshuffling recently, perhaps you just got caught in the middle of that...
RE: Error Updating Ares - Renegade - 26.06.2010
No, he didn't. Not only was the reshuffling already done when he reported, but the log actually explicitly shows that his Launch Base properly adapted:
Code:
2010-06-11 16:12:57 Downloading "http://ares.strategy-x.com/lb_data/stable.tar.gz" to "C:\Westwood\RA2\LaunchBase\Resource\ares.tar.gz"Code:
2010-06-11 16:13:01 Deleting "C:\Westwood\RA2\LaunchBase\Resource\ares.tar"
2010-06-11 16:13:01 Ares update failed - failed to unpack "C:\Westwood\RA2\LaunchBase\Resource\ares.tar" Check that the Ares build you have selected is available - you may need to select a different build.Looks to me like there's a ".gz" missing in some hardcoded string.
(Though I am wondering why LB tried to extract the file after deleting it...
)
RE: Error Updating Ares - DCoder - 26.06.2010
It probably deleted .tar so that the download could be ungz'd without rewriting anything.
RE: Error Updating Ares - Renegade - 26.06.2010
Ah, that's possible...I forgot not all implementations do transparent gzip.
RE: Error Updating Ares - Marshall - 27.06.2010
DCoder is correct, I've checked the code and the above naming issue isn't an issue - there's just no logging call to say decompressing the .tar.gz.
I've added a couple more logging calls for the next version to avoid this confusion.
Indications are that the unpacking of ares.tar.gz failed for some reason, or the unpack went okay but either no directory was extracted or ares.dll or ares.dll.inj were not extracted, although I can't tell what happened without replication.
So, if anyone does have this problem, please post here so we can follow it up - but I suspect that the problem has been resolved now.

I have a similar problem!
I can't update ares! It says it cannout unpack ares.tar
[^same poster]
Can I update Ares manually? Like putting the dll files and such in the resource folder?
RE: Error Updating Ares - Marshall - 04.07.2010
Can you post your LaunchBase.log file?
Is this a clean install? If not, what mods do you have installed?
Which Ares branch have you selected (or is it default)?

Ares and Syringe came down perfectly.
