Ugh. Nothing is working. “Access to path KB-A-001.dll denied” is the error I get whenever I try to update, either from the old client or the new client.

Try running either client as an administrator. Right click, run the EXE as admin.
You could also try disabling your anti-virus for a moment, then doing the above. Seems the game is having trouble accessing/writing to a file it needs to update, those are the only two things I can think of that would interfere with that.
EDIT: Or stuff could be set to read-only for some reason, but I don’t see why it would be…

I did both of those-- turned off my particularly hyperactive antivirus program, and also tried running as admin. Neither worked.
That error is something (usually Windows) blocking the program from accessing the file/path that it wants to.
You could try updating your .net framework with this link here, maybe there’s some weird privledges that need to be updated, I dunno. Always run the program as admin.
Since it appears to be an error with updating, I’ll archive my client and upload it here momentarily. I’ll edit this post when I do so.
Sorry about the wait. I’ve PM"d you a link that I think should work. Let me know if you are both able to download, and run the game okay.[/quote]
The files worked perfectly two days ago-- thank you so much for that! However, today they are as useless as my original client
For some reason, it keeps wanting to download and install updates from January 16, 2014-- and then gets stuck on that. Same problem, KB-A-0001.dll doesn’t work. Do you know any way around this?
Thanks Why, but I don’t think that’s it, because I can find the file (KB-A-0001.dll) in the UpdaterCache folder.
Well, if it’s there or not isn’t an issue, the issue is that your game client for some reason is being blocked from accessing whatever file it needs to.
The fact that it is still persisting and we’ve tried disabling both antivirus and running with admin privileges leads me to my third guess;
Go to your program directory (C:\Program Files\Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, usually)
Right click the “Client” folder.
Click “Properties”.
Uncheck “Read Only”.
Go into the client folder, and repeat steps 2-4 for every folder inside of it.
If that doesn’t work, your user account on your machine must not be high enough privileges, or you still have an outside program that is interfering.
Nah, I install it as a portable on my external hard drive :) If I try to install it anywhere on my C drive, the installer screws up even worse-- for some reason it doesn’t have privileges to make folders, or something weird like that.
Hmm this shows promise! For some reason, you’re right, the folders are read-only… not sure why. Changing that now; hopefully it works!!!
