Game Updater Issues

[Panchos]

I have an updater for my game

1) Game loads
2) Checks for new update
3) Update exists > downloads to game_new.exe
4) Closes game, loads patcher.exe
5) Patcher deletes game.exe
6) patcher renames game_new.exe to game.exe
7) patcher loads game

patcher and game are both admin access programs

This works fine for most users, but some people get problems on step 6, it doesnt happen

I've used the File object to do this then when it wasnt working I switched to the File-Folder object, still issues

Any recommendations?

Hey Panchos!

Would you happen to know what exactly is going wrong?

Is the file not being renamed at all? Does a windows error pop up? etc.

[Panchos]

According to those it happens to it just does nothing on that step, doesnt rename, no pop ups etc :/

Could it be possible that these files are in an admin-access only directory or where one might need admin privileges to modify any of the files?

[Panchos]

Both the patcher and game are set to run admin mode, if I execute an external program from a MMF program should I put something in the command line?
