Troubleshooting
Windows 2000
Please install the GDI+ redistributable package, as described in this article: TDM in Windows 2000
Updater closes almost as soon as it's started (1.00 to 1.02 only)
Clear out your temp folder, as follows:
- Click Start
- Click Run
- Type %temp% and press enter (make sure you include the % signs) (if this step doesn't work, try navigating to it - see below for the path)
- Select all (CTRL-A) and (DEL) them.
On Windows Vista, the temporary folder in question is usually at C:\Users\[your Windows user name]\AppData\Local\Temp. On Windows XP, look in C:\Documents and Settings\[your Windows user name]\Application Data\Local Settings\Temp.
I am behind a proxy
Open a console window, navigate (chdir) to your Darkmod folder and use the --proxy argument.
In Windows, open the "Advanced Options" dialog right after starting the updater, and enter the proxy information in the entry field.
