...and by a while, meaning until next maintenance. Sorry.
Don't listen to her, she got lit and broke her computer this week.
It took me all day yesterday to copy my files off device. I'm running the factory reset now. Story at eleven.
I don't see how this is even possible. I consider contacting Nexon technical support but all they're going to do is sweat a lot and tell me to contact Microsoft or my laptop vendor or laptop manufacturer. All they're gonna tell me is to reset to factory. So, I save all that trouble and decide to go to DEFCON 1 and use the big stick! Porting all my data off-device takes a mere 20 hours. Then I do a full clean reset to factory (that's where it zero's the HD first, then resets) that was about 8 hours.
I set it back up, download the Nexon launcher, install it, AND IT RUNS; halle-fricken-lujah! So now I click to install Mabinogi. I get a "this program cannot be installed error with an error number". The error window is a Nexon window NOT a Microsoft one, so the error number is a Nexon one. I search Nexon for the error and all I get are forum hits of people saying "I'm getting this error!". I decide to complete my windows updates to see if that might take care of it. I do and the Nexon Launcher stops loading. Fortunately, I did this in lots rather than all at once. The final lot I did was security updates. So, I uninstall them and the launcher comes back to life. But I still get the same error trying to install Mabinogi.
I take a leap of faith that it is some kind of transient error that occurs when the install is interrupted or disturbed somehow by outside action so I decide to erase whatever files were installed and try again. At this point, the sun is over the pacific ocean so I figure traffic in-and-out of Nexon's data-center will be at a minimum and that this would be my best chance to avoid the error if my guess is right. Mabinogi is A LOT bigger than the last time I loaded it from scratch; it takes a while but the second attempt goes off without a scratch. Mabinogi installs!!!
I try to run it and I get some missing dll errors. I Google them. The best Einsteins Google could give me all said, reinstall. I used some language unbecoming a lady and went to bed. The next morning I searched the first error again. Scrolling down I saw a hit from Microsoft's website. It recommended, downloading and installing a KB#######. Off to control panel I go. I go to windows update and click search for updates. The KB is not in the list. I go to Programs and Features to installed windows updates and it's not in that list either. Well, beggars can't be choosers and that Microsoft page provided a link to download the installer for the KB. I hover the mouse and the download link is Microsoft.com and is an https. So, I download the file first, saving it to my desktop, then run it, just in case fate decides to have more sport with me.
Well that did the trick, and it only took me 2 and a half days. My guess as to what was happening is that the security update caused the Nexon Launcher to not be able to communicate with Nexon and so the launcher discontinues execution. It fails silently though. Also, safe mode with networking should have shut down any security software blocking it. Since, I don't work at Nexon, I don't have to figure it out.
Moral of the story; don't drink and troubleshoot.
So Ferghus doesn't get the blame this time?
Meet ferghus's illegit daughter.
Oh lookie, I am over 50k likes now.
It can't be me; I solved my problem. So, I must be related to Edern. Perhaps that time he went east in his youth. As for Ferghus' illegit daughter, I blame that on the WV home-schooling system.
The timing and place to announce that . . . NICE!
