Lich v4

[Tordane]

I'm still having trouble with this. I've check and rechecked and I'm definitely signed in as the admin (there's only one user on the comp) but when I right click the file there isn't an option to run as admin.

Welcome to Vista/Win7 security. It doesn't matter that your signed in as an admin level account.

Run a program as administrator from the graphical interface
You can also run a program as administrator right from a program icon. Instead of double-clicking the program icon to launch it, right-click the icon and choose Run as Administrator from the shortcut menu.

I can run other programs as admin, just not lich. Any ideas?

1.Download and install Ruby 1.8.6
2.Download and extract lich-4.0.15.zip - Point the extraction to your users/my documents folder. This should create a Lich folder within my documents.
3.Open the Lich folder and right click on Lich.rbw and select run as administrator.

Don't have the option to run as admin when I right click it. Other programs I can. I've moved it into the admin user my documents. I've tried it everywhere. Other executables I can run as admin, just not lich.

When you installed Ruby, did you install it by right-clicking and "run as admin"?

Strange things seem to happen at random. I can be connected and fine for hours and hours with no errors and then I can get this in only a few minutes.

--- Lich: herbheal has exited.
--- Lich: swaggle active.
[swaggle]>prepare 101
[swaggle]>prepare 101
[swaggle]>prepare 101
--- error: server_thread: Invalid argument

--- Lich: lnet has exited.
--- Lich: swaggle has exited.
--- Lich: exec1 has exited.

And it kicks me out of the game. Anyone else seeing things like this?

error: server_thread: Invalid argument

Sorry I've been busy. Yeah I tried that as well. It's not really worth all this trouble. It runs fine once I launch it through the command prompt. I'm sure it is just some sort of permissions issue that I don't feel like digging into anymore. Thanks for the help though guys.

btw, loving Lich in general, its awesome.

Had no problems looking at the repo until today when I actually needed it.

>;repository list
--- Lich: repository active.
Contacting the Lich server... if it's busy, this will take awhile...
[repository: error resolving address for lichproject.com]
[repository: ran out of servers to try...]
--- Lich: repository has exited.

Anyone? Vista user with no recent security events

I believe ;trust repository will fix your problem here. Have you tried that?

[Drevihyin]

fixed it thanks...

The "Invalid Argument" error is a result of the connection being closed, and Windows not telling the program about it. I don't know of anything that can be done about it... except of course switching to a decent OS, like Linux.
