In his example, the original is in C: while the copy is in E:

If you followed the instructions in the OP exactly, the paths would be like this:

Code:

@echo off
REM GWx2 Updater v1.01
echo Launching Guild Wars . . .
start "" "C:\Program Files\Guild Wars\gw.exe"
echo Wait for any updates to complete . . .
pause
taskkill /IM gw.exe
CHOICE /N /M "Were there new updates? Press Y or N"
if errorlevel 2 goto end
echo Copying new updated files to 2nd GW Copy . . .
xcopy "C:\Program Files\Guild Wars\Gw.exe" "C:\Program Files\Guild Warz\" /Y
xcopy "C:\Program Files\Guild Wars\Gw.dat" "C:\Program Files\Guild Warz\" /Y
goto end
:end
echo Launching dual GWs. . .
start "" "C:\Program Files\Guild Wars\GWx2_4.1.exe"
exit

...pretty much.

EDIT: Ahh, tried it. didn't copy the files. got the I/O error.

When I try and set it up, following the guide, it all goes right until I hit done.

When that happens I get an error, saying that "Failed to set data for 'path'"

Then it doesnt work. I followed the guide exactly, and dunno what im doing wrong.

The paramaters fields are blank, and i got version 4.1.

Thanx in advance.

Mine is no longer working, too. I did everything (even making a batch file posted here that is just similar to what i always do) yet it's really not working anymore.

I don't know if there is something wrong but i noticed that if you run GWX2_4.1, it will add some bytes to the GW.Dat. In my case:

Original File: 2,998,151kb.
when GWX2_4.1: 3,001,054kb. (both GW.Dat are padded with 2903)

This tool is really helpful for me because i need to transfer my items from my main account to my storage account. I have 2 pc's at home so i am able to transfer but they are on separate room so not very convenient (i have to go here and there to send and accept trades).

I hope this will work again.

My problem isnt that its no longer working... i was just trying it for the first time today. My friend just quit gw, and I was gonna use his monk to smite for me in UW 600/smite instead of hero. But I got that error saying that the paths werent set or sth like that.

Great guide and great programm. However, I can not seen to figure out how to make 2 copies of GWX2 to use the autologin feature for 3 different accounts.

I have a Main, a mule1 and a mule2 account.

I tried making a copy of GWX2 and setting the first to log in Main and Mule1 and the copy to log in main and mule 2.... however now both copies log in main and mule2.

Is there a way around this, or do I leave the second account hooks empty and log in manually each time I want to go on the unavailable mule account?

Snograt · Sep 14, 2008, 08:41 PM // 20:41

Log manually - can't think of a logical way around that. Unless somebody wants to hack out a GWx3?

Rushin Roulette · Sep 15, 2008, 04:50 PM // 16:50

Ahh. You might have gotten my initial post the wrong way. I know that GWX2 only supports 2 copies of GW simultaneously (although 3 might be possible for medium/high end machines nowadays).

I am trying to figure out how to make one copy of GWX2 to log into my main and mule account 1...
...the second copy should be to log into main and mule 2.

But if I change the details on one of the GWX2 programms, then the other automatically takes those changes over. Ive even tried downloading 2 different GWX2 versions... but allas they seem to be downwards and upwards compatible

.

Actually, I did know what you meant but managed to confuse myself

I haven't a clue where gwx2 stores its data, otherwise I would have suggested a simple batch file to launch it with different profiles...

Are you both minimizing windows after opening the first one by itself. You have to make sure its minimized first before running it.

Garsty · Oct 12, 2008, 05:03 PM // 17:03

Heres an update:

This is what im getting now

(see image)

It looks like its something to do with the dat file.

____________________________________________

This is how I just got it to work......

I simply ran it as administrator and it worked first time after that, so I would advise anyone with any probs to try that.

Hello.

I got some issue with GWX2 4.1, and this is my first time using it but i can't seems to get it to work. Below are the steps i have taken so far.

1) download from the official website
2) Made a copy of my original gw folder onto desktop, afterwhich i copied it to E: , same as my original gw just a different folder name
- E: Guildwar and E: Guildwarzz
3) Extract out GWX2 and path my primary to my orginal gw.exe (guildwar) and the secondary as the gw.exe (guildwarzz)
4) when i launched it, 2 windows opened initially but 1 closes almost immediately and was brought to the login page.
5) tried re-copying gw.exe file.
6) had previously launched GW the usual way, minimised to window mode and closed it.

Im using winxp 1gb ram.

I read from several threads (did my homework

) some people faces the same issue as me. Can someone drop us some advise?

Thanks in advanced!

Age · Oct 15, 2008, 08:59 PM // 20:59

Did you copy the dat.bak file as well as that needs to be done and it is C: not E:?

Extract that to the new folder not your GW Orignal GW folder.2 Windows openning up is fine.

Snograt · Oct 15, 2008, 10:13 PM // 22:13

Age: If his original GW install is in E:\, the E:\ is correct. Not everyone uses C:\, that's just the default. Mine runs happily from D:\

Also, what's dat.bak?

jiar0ng: Hmm, sounds like you've done everything right. Try running just your original GW again with the -image switch, copy over gw.exe to guildwarzz yet again and see how it goes.
