I don't get it, i really don't. I just copied that text and replaced the default text in the updater page, and it didn't work. i have tried Ironusers text too and no go. i even opened up the properties and click advanced to make sure i have full administrative, (read-write...etc) control over the adblock.ini folder and i do. I even changed it so it can be written to, and it already was able to anyway. i clicked on the list of names that have control over that folder,(system....etc) and i have full control. i will break down exactly what I'm doing.whatisinternet wrote:I have same problem as you but it works now, found out it was typed in the wrong destination folder I'm using windows 7 64bit and this is my settings:jazluvr wrote:Of course i made a mistake and corrected it. i was copying and pasting different stuff and modifying the text trying to get the dam thing to work. And even with that text you post Ironuser, By the way, i did go right to fanboys site and changed the text to exactly what you have, https...etc, and it doesn't work. I give up. I'll just update that dam thing myself every few days.
Thanks for your patience and help you guys. I do appreciate it.

Thx for help guys this is great script
I download the updater file from this site, i extract the update folder to desktop, i click start>startup and open that folder, it's an empty screen so I drag the update folder into the start-up folder and click save But before that i delete the default source and destination entries to what you guys are using, being careful so that every line is located in the same exact position it was originally in. I even open msconfig to verify it's in the startup folder and the box is checked so it will work. i reboot and i get the pop-up screen with the update text, but it doesn't update.
I think somebody mentioned it shows the date, but mine shows no date at all. no previous versions or anything. Oh yeah, in the srware Iron folder, it just says adblock, w/o the extention .ini. And i have the windows set to view details. It says it's a configuration folder, but the path in the adblock properties is an .ini file type. i even copied the full path when i dove deep enough into the advanced properties of the adblock folder, and that didn't work either.
So i will just manually update it once a week unless someone can point out something I'm doing wrong. Also i can get any "use as administrator" options to install that folder when i right click on it. It just says extract. I'm using winrar.
