If I'm reading the screen grab correctly the system is failing to copy a .tmp file over to overwrite the current SimSigloader.exe file. As a quick fix you could try renaming the existing SimSigloader.exe file (maybe to SimSigloader.old) then find the .tmp file, copy it over to the SimSigloader directory and rename it as SimSigloader.exe. If the loader then runs from your menu or desktop icon you've cracked it. If it doesn't you can always put things back to the way they were while someone more expert gives you some help.

Hi Headshot

I've tried all that and my loader is stuck on version 4.5.8.1 and in the updates i can't get the new Marylebone Update and Updater is stuck with Splash AB1 jpg- data for Wimbledon and loads more. I'm a complete techno thicko and i've got no idea how to sort this so any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Chris

Hi

Forget all that i've just deleted all files to do with Wimbledon and the Updated loader again and it seems to have sorted everything including Marylebone the only thing left is Loader is still showing Version 4.5.8.1 but its all working.

When you click 'check for updates', are you offered updates or does it show 'SimSig is up to date'? Also- you say the loader still shows version 4.5.8.1, to confirm is that the number shown in the bottom left hand corner of the Loader start-up screen, below the button for the license manager?

Hi Steamer

Its 4.5.11 in left hand corner!!! As i said i'm a techno thicko but looks like I've sorted it all now by deleting Wimbledon and then Updating again and my loader is now showing all up to date.

Cheers

I realise that Step 4 is important but the loader closes itself! Also I am getting a debug window so it won't update fully / properly.

I'm getting a loop of continually finding refresher and refreshera then it closes itself then when I rerun it comes up with the same except for a RED NEW flash on update so I presume something has been updated somewhere

Dave the issue is the loader wasn't closing itself just minimising. Hence why step 4 was so important.
