D3 updating setup files

Thanks for the great post. Will share at my FB. You are the best. Keep in mind that these are not guaranteed fixes. What I think finally worked for me was disabling all network adapters except for the one on my actual network connected to the internet. I had a dial-up adapter for some serial communication and a virtualbox network adapter. Suddenly got a dial screen after trying some of the other fixes. After disabling all the unused adapters it jumped straight to the launcher.

I tried all of these fixes for the MoP Beta and none of them worked. Today, much to my chagrin, I had the same issue with the D3 intaller. After hunting around the internet and not coming up with any new solutions, I started combining some of the workarounds and finally succeeded. Here is what worked for me: running on Windows XP 1. Remove all beta data files. Both D3 and MoP 2.

Delete any version of the installer you have on your computer. Re-download the installer from battle. Are thoose only avalible if your have downloaded it? Cause I have bought a CD. Trying the 1. Is this just meaing ur general Program Data folder?

I have Windows 7 and have tried all 4 fixes multiple times. None of them work. Turns out if none of these work it could just be the system requirements… you need 2. New laptop time I guess.. Let it sit for a few minutes. Open the folder it is downloading into and press F5 refresH a few times. Are the file sizes increasing? If so, let it work. Re-open the downloader as administrator right click, run as administrator.

Choose the exact same destination you chose originally. The downloader will do a file check and correct any issues it finds, then it will continue downloading. Let it work. Also i did run it as administrator so how long should i wait before i close the file before restarting it. I finally found the problem with my install. If you have a Bigfoot Networks Killer card you will have to disable the service and reset the winsock layer.

Disable Bigfoot Networks Killer Service. Reboot 4. Rerun the install and it should work. Not user if you can turn it back on after you finish the install, but give it a try if you have a bigfoot NIC and are having trouble. Thank you so much! Got my game install disk from midnight release, and was stuck in this loop. The first fix got me goin, thanks a bunch!!!

MoP beta never worked, D3 beta never worked, D3 game client never work and spend hours reinstalling and what not….. I had this problem on Windows Vista. What I did to solve the problem was let the launcher run, then closed out of it, opened up the task manager, went to applications and ended the agent. I had two of them running, and also the blizzard launcher application I ended.

Looks like the Blizzard bnet servers died after trying to let the entire world log on at 12am PDT. Hi, I tried all 4 fixes and they did not work.

Perhaps this should be fix 5. Thanks a lot, 2 hours of frustration solved. Fix 1 solved the problem — install screen was up within seconds of setting option to automatic had been disabled. Many thanks to you! Fix 4 ran for me absolute genius! Thank you so much was tearing clumps of hair out over this very silly problem.

None of the 4 fixes have worked for me. Guys also something that works Open Internet explorer select tools tab and make sure the work offline box isnt ticked.

Tried everything and this fixed the issue for me hope it helps someone else. Otte-o Brilliant suggestion! Got me past the loading screen, just gotta make it through the install. Much apprecaited!! OK so firstly I want to thank you for getting me to the screen which enables me to Install. I was constantly getting stuck at updating files as so many others of you were. I am trying to install the game, but every time I encounter the same error. OpenRepackTarget:: execute. I looked online, trying desperately to find an answer, but sadly nothing seem to solve my problem.

Tried all the fixes and none worked for me. Fix 4 worked for me. I did exactly what it said, walked away from the computer for a couple of minutes because I was afraid to look, came back and the installer was up! Thanks for the fix! Did they finally cave to just ship the game this time around?

Are there other bugs within the game that people found in the beta that still remain in release? Have our standards for how buggy a game is at launch gone down? Are we really more willing to just find our own fixes and workarounds than go to the developer and demand better quality from the get-go? I am on Vista 64, none of the above fixes did anything good for me. This one just starts up and runs without any worthless frustrating fucked up errors or crashes.

Hope it is helpful, enjoy your D3! Still no luck, going to just wait for the first patch for the game at this point. Tried it all was closest to wrok with 4 cause i worked all the way and it said launching installer when i removed the agent then after 10 sec it automaticly starts again and goes back to updatig install files.. Set compatibility "ticked run this program for compatibility mode for… I'm use Win7 , Ticked what window you used.

A big tip to u guys if u have friends that got it to work Have them copy the full Battlenet folder, pack it into a rar have him send it to u someway extract and replace ure current, this worked for me!!!

Thanx guys, fix 2 worked for me like a charm! I used tskmanager. Right clicked on Agent and went to open fil location. I backtracked to battlenet and there were 3 different agents to choose from including one with a blueish logo wheras the others were red. I clicked the blueish one and then ran it and it worked perfectly.

Ok guys im on windows vista 64bit ok the worst windows os ever. Anyway this is how I did it. Ok what you do is this. Ok now right click it and hit Open File Directory.

On when I say open around 8 of them I mean keep them all running there will be about 8 agent. Ok now that I was stuck all I did was end all the agent. I opened the install file back up and it starts at the install screen now, no more update files portion. Good luck it must work it worked on Vista…… Good Luck! Vadim try what I did keep opening Agent. Run like 8 of them see if it pushes through. Make sure you have all updates for direct x, firmware, bios, graphics card, etc, run a defrag, restart and install.

Fix 1 worked right away, thanks a million! I was waiting around for that setup for half an hour. Right click the download client. Click properties. I clicked that and it now goes past the dreaded updating setup files screen…only to lead me to errors during the actual instal. Still progress though! This worked!! I tried all the fixes I could find online, read so many forums, submitted a ticket and everything!

Just had to replace the battle. Thank you so much!!!! Disabled my anti-virus and […]. It worked! I have tried all of the fixes without resolve. I am running Windows 7. I have tried combinations of the fixes, multiple restarts, even waiting several hours while it simply remains stuck.

Any ideas? OMG — Thank you, 5 worked for me. I was going stir crazy for 2 hours trying to figure out if the issue was somehow server side, that I possibly missed a blizzard file, I even copied the entire contents of Diablo 3 to my HD since that was the problem I was finding with Starcraft 2 Installation. Tried all the steps and the updating setup files was getting further along with fix 4, but didnt seem to fully work. I just kept trying, giving each try about 5 mins at the spots it was freezing.

Has Blizzard even responded to this? All you have to do is copy and replace the battle. Thanks SCH so much :X. Thank you so much!! Scratch that.

Daniel: Can you delete the battle. Let me know. Yes you can. If you do, when you try to start the game is goes right back to Updating Setup Files just like when I tried to install the game. It never launches though. Starting the foreign Agent before launching the game makes no difference either. None of the solutions you suggested worked for me. Once again, I assume absolutely no liability for the info I provide below, however, the described solution was the only one that worked for me.

Killing Agent. I had to do this several times while Setup was running, because I noticed that Setup was creating new files whose flags were rwx—— i. To have any confidence in using this hack for your purposes you must have a rudimentary knowledge on unix ok, if you like, linux and so CYGWIN. My apologies about this very long post, but I hope this is useful for at least some people.

You are a legend. Number 5 did it for. Tried all the others, but fix 5 is what did it for me. Fix 5 worked for me. Just wanted to say that i tried fixes along with a few fixes from other sites and none of them worked. Im running vista btw. Worked first try.

Hopefully 5 has no virus or anything… someone should have verified it first… but oh well. Had the agent issues and updating setup files problems, as did my cousin. My own issue i fixed after hours of messing about with agent processes, disabling firewalls and pctools.

Really unacceptable issues because Blizards torrent based installer looks like malaware to any of a variety of threat assessment software. Anyway i didnt want to spend all day sorting out my cousin too since mine only worked after some repeated very hit and miss process stops and restarts. So i went for fix 5 which i would not normally do as downloading files from random internet users is asking for trouble.

But it worked. Copying the battle. I am grateful to the user, but i am not happy that blizzard makes something as risky as this necessary. I love you with all my penis. All homo P. S 5 worked for me. I have windows vista and i tried fix1 and it didnt help. The problem is i dont even have a battle. Info: I have Windows Vista bit. I was like, what? I used Windows Updater and all of the other fixes to no avail. Without opening Windows Updater, I tried D3 again, and sure enough it worked just fine.

Keen you are awesome!!! I bought the digital version from battlenet ofcourse…. Fix 5 did the trick. Perhaps they contributed but when I did 5 it worked instantly.

I have it on windows 7. Stuck at this point any tips? Fix 1 is there a way for it to be done on W7? I went to Blizzard, and saw a post that mentioned that you had to set a rule for the Windows Firewall in order for the setup to fully install.

For me, I had to also make sure the Secondary Logon Service was enabled. Some people may have to restart Windows in order for this to fully take. Make sure you point your firewall to whatever Diablo Setup. Many of them require Internet connections and will slow the upgrade process down. The setup initial process should take anywhere from about minutes before it kicks into the final Diablo installer. For me it took about 5 or 6 minutes, but that was mostly because my gadgets were likely slowing things down.

If it is, things should be working smoothly at this point. The only thing that should stop you or slow you down at this point would be either slow or patchy Internet connections.

Once the initial setup finishes, it will launch the Diablo installer, and also connect you to Battle. Net, so you can log in to your BN account and create your Battle Tag identifier. You will also need to activate your game using your license code. You can do this while the Diablo game is installing.

BTW I run windows 7. So if you know anyone who installed it with no problems, copy that persons battle. Fix No. Tried all fixes except 5 twice, and restarted my computer numerous times. Still nothing. Currently hating life … help! Thanks alot! After two days of scouring the internet looking for a way to install my copy of diablo 3, fix number one worked for me the first time I used it!!

Foreshame Blizzard. Thank you so much for posting this fix; I scoured the official forums and several different places, nothing worked until I tried the simple fix 1 that you posted and it works like a charm. Thanks for the fixes, and fix 5, is there any diffrence beteween the EU and US version?

If so, which version is that file? All you do is download the Battle. None of these are working for me. Try running the downloader again, Ben. Usually that means there are still. PART files needing to finish. You cant download it from Fix 5 anymore, maybe its just me but I tried it from multiple PCs. Okay, here is my situation.

None of these solutions work at all. Ive used every method its not work.. Thanks a bunch for the fix. I think mine was a little of 4 and 5. I noticed I had a good 4 agents running. For those on windows 7 have been able to make it work , can you tell if your windows is Home, ultimate, etc and if is 32 or 64! Hi, wondring about the Fix 1. I think this is the right sulotion but i cant find the..

In my agent file for one of the fixes i have 2 agents, with different respective numbers, such as Agent and Agent There is not executable file to be run, only applications, logs, ect. EDIT: how do i replace his version with my version? Updating setup files wont finish. Nothing works to fix this problem. Blizzard is zero help too. After many hours searching on D3forums and the web, I found to this site and Fix 1 worked like a charm, thank you sir!

Just wanted to say many thanks — solution 4a worked fine for me after trying a lot of other suggestions. Find your agent. Run the Diablo 3 installer, wait till it gets close to being stuck then quickly run the agent. I bought the digital retail copy and I still have this problem… Non of the solutions worked for me!

This totally fixed my problem, been at it for hours trying everything under the sun. The new problem with this damn program is the patches. Fix 1 worked for me.

I looked at the previous solutions and tried the download one, except there is no need to download the zip file. Ok enough of the gibberish. Installed normanly. Related: gaming. Killing any of the agent processes that spawn it spawns many results in the launcher loading with an immediate error stating "There has been a communication error, please restart the launcher", restarting the launcher results in the process repeating again — kalina.

Did you try to remove D3 again, then manually delete all the files associated with it don't know which ones exactly, but most probably in My Documents there will be a folder for D3? Run CCleaner twice, then try it again. If it didn't help maybe there is a problem with the game disk? Try downloading an installer from Blizzard website. These were just some wild guesses, so I kept it as a comment — Novarg.
