Issues since early September with patching - resolved (hopefully)

So this one has had awful trouble every patch day yes since the patch after the release of Horns of the Reach. No trouble at all before then.

Specifically with the 64 bit exe not being able to update itself - saying the file is in use. So many repairs, having to run the 32 bit client first etc.

This has also affected the PTS. Khajiit was concerned about how this may affect her travels when the 32 bit exe is no longer supported next year.

Well last night in much frustration this one she shared some pictures with her guildmates and asked for advice. You could see from the file folder yes that the file was not right.

Anyway repeated attempts to delete the file in every way imaginable, even with all admin permissions, were unsuccessful.

As a last resort we booted up in the safe mode - and the files we had been trying to delete were gone!

So the files were there but not there ...

After this, and a reboot into normal mode, Khajiit was able to repair the thingy from the launcher and then run the 64 bit client.

Khajiit must also thank Sirinsidiator for his very great help in this matter.

This one she posts this information here in the hope it may help others in the same situation. This one she also hopes not to have the same issue next patch day - but she is now ready for what must be done should the issue reoccur.

Yours with paws
