I was able to have the Aceupdater work frin on my XP machines.

Now with this VISTA machine I can install the program but somethign in
Windows prevent it from finishing when I run it.

I had to go into control panel to allow winodws to accept what the
program was doing but I could not find the EXE. Got impatient so I
just ended up uninstalling it and am going to start over.

I'd avoid updater programs like the plague and do it manually.

Perhaps that is a good idea.

But according to a good friend of ours this one is reliable.

Well I only have to make sure the updates are up to date for the Kara
runs so maybe I can just do it the way of manual updates.

I shall see oh Kimmosabee, I shale see.


In the WAU FAQ there is a mention of problems running WAU in Vista if WoW is
installed to the Program Files directory. I have no idea if this will help
you or not, but it's worth a look I suppose.

You might also want to try one of the other ace updaters instead of this
one. There's a short list of them at the bottom of this page:
