Could not find a part of the path

TLE · July 31, 2009

Hi,

Like to start of by saying what a fantastic app, it really has made my life that little bit easier.

On to business..

I am getting the following error when downloading FirefoxPortable from sourceforge. The path all exists at it used by other applications. If someone could take a look I would be most grateful. i have looked through the forum and couldn't find anyone else with tis problem.

I used one of the templates originally to add this.

Many Thanks

TLE

Error: FireFoxPortable Could not find a part of the path 'J:\LoadArea\PortableInstalls\'.

We've had a number of issues with sf.net, see here and here but I'm afraid you won't find anything related to this issue. Checking for update only doesn't produce an error:

In this particular case, no file name is given, so the downloaded file cannot be saved. You should specify a file location instead of a folder.

FranciscoR · August 1, 2009

That's new Flo, but it doesn't seem to work. Ketarin is now downloading a 2.94MB file while the FF installer has 8.85MB.

TLE · August 1, 2009

Hi Guys,

Thanks for the replys. Flo, that worked a treat specifying the file name.

Thanks

TLE.

Is my PC crazy or does your XML also DL the infamous 2.94MB file? This doesn't seem to be fixed, here's an alternative mirror:

If it helps, I tried your two jobs and:

- the first one downloads a 2.94Mb file (which is of course an invalid exe)

- the second one doesn't download anything (but there's no error ???)

FranciscoR · August 1, 2009

MajorGeeks is the second? It works for me, maybe this has to do with your location? A while ago I discussed a similar issue with CybTekSol, I pointed MajorGeeks as an alternative DL simply because it's a lot more stable and predictable than anything that involves Sourceforge.net.

No, no. I already checked the download location, which I set to c:\{appname:replace:MG_:}_{version}.{url:ext} and then c:\test.exe just to be sure.

An update is required but downloading is skipped?

FranciscoR · August 1, 2009

Ah, semantics is now different (on appyface request), just uncheck "do not download, check updates only" to download.

andreone · August 1, 2009

Ah, semantics is now different (on appyface request), just uncheck "do not download, check updates only" to download.

Oups, I did not check that.

Alright then, your settings work fine, I managed to download a valid exe of ~8Mb

TLE · August 2, 2009

Thanks Guys,

To be honest I have never heard of thatr issue FranciscoR, I will keep it in mind now though. That script works fine for me.

Thanks again guys.

TLE

FranciscoR · August 16, 2009

Flo, not sure if this helps but the problem seems to be the comma character in redirected url.

CybTekSol · August 19, 2009

This has caught me twice lately FranciscoR!
