Having purchased the new Egde Hill and Huyton sims I tried to update my Simsig Loader. After pressing "next" on the screen showing all the updates available I get a box labelled Simsigrefresher showing "I/O error 1784". Any help appreciated.

Do you have administrative permissions for the PC?

DId you install SimSig to the default location or did you select a custom folder?

I presume that I have admistration permissions as I am the sole user. Never had any problems with this to date.
Simsig is installed in the default location Disk C

I've currently got V4.5.8, & now I'm getting a small box coming up when I click on check for updates, 'Error creating process: 11'. Suggestions, advice etc. please.

Further to my request for help above. There has been limited response so I decided that I would uninstall the Loader program and re-install it to see if it solved my problem. However when I went onto the control panel it is not listed in the programs under the Simsig heading. In fact I could not find it anywhere at this location. How do I get rid of it?

In 'Add or remove programs' it should be named "SimSig Vx", where x is the version number of the Loader you initially installed.

That error code is "ERROR_BAD_FORMAT: An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format."

In both your case and kreader's case, I would try opening Explorer, browsing to where SimSig is installed (typically C:\Program Files (x86)\SimSig" and running SimSigRefresher[.exe] from there and then report back.

I re-downloaded & re-installed the system files, done it's usual update to latest version, & touchwood it's cured the problem, so far it's working ok. It does come up with this though:

*** Do not install simulations into the Program Files directory ***
Finished installing simulations.
*** Do not install simulations into the Program Files directory ***
Finished updating files.
Press Next to continue.

That's after getting the first screen giving you the option to download the new sims available. Like I said, everything runs ok after clicking next after the update confirmation.
