this is what my key is

install also fails under Vista Home 64bit SP1 same "Rebuilding Packages" line in the logs.

Err, the comment about checking the psyn association was meant for Hostile.

I believe your difficulty can be resolved merely by refreshing your "Find an addon" list.

I ran a search on my registry and there is not a key, value or data string with the term "Wow6432Node" in it.  I also searched for "psyn" for giggles and got nothing.  A search for the entire key also came back negative.

I don't have any 3rd party sofware (spybot s&d or the like) blocking registry writes so I'm not sure why this is happening.  Do you have the key and data for me to insert into my registry?

On non 64-bit machines, create a key called HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\psyn\shell\open\command

In it put: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Curse\CurseClient.exe" -url "%1"

Or wherever your client is installed

Hmm, I just went into the registry to insert this key and it's there.  I'm not sure how my searches weren't hitting before.  I could have sworn that I browsed through as well and there was no psyn entry...

Anyway, the key is there but addons still won't install from the website.

Having the exact same issue as 'Hostile'.. =/.

Having the same issue as well on X64 Vista with Firefox 3.5

No problems in IE.

The curse client link doesn't work on my laptop either.  Vista Business, IE 8 and version 3.0.0.8 of the Curse client.

This seems like a serious enough issue to get special focus.

It seems to be mostly with Vista under 64-bit, but both IE and Firefox (which makes sense since it is an OS association) Unfortunately I'm running Vista 64-bit for my own machine. Perhaps it could be related to user logins/permissions.

Monkeypox - you are saying it works fine in IE but not Firefox?

Yea I have the same issue....for some reason Curse Client.....isn't installing anything automatically anymore?!

I click on Website link "Install via Curse Client" and nothing

I try to install via the "Find an Addon" tab and it says "downloading" "installing" etc but it never installs to my Addons folder?!

Runinng 32-bit Vista Ultimate

For me I can download from IE8 but not on Firefox3.5..... Seems it may be a firefox issue. I am using vista

having the same problems, wont install through the website or through manualy searchign in the curse client.

windows xp home latest service pack fully updated

mindfray,

Some users have reported problems under firefox 3.5 but say it works fine under IE8.

What browser are you using to access the website?

firefox, BUT! it does not let me install addons THROUGH the curse client itself. its not only the links on the website, but installing through searching THROUGH THE CLIENT itself

////////////////

well if i exit curse client and turn it back on, login again. it lets me install modes directly from the curse program, but if i click a link in firefox so far it makes it impossible to install from the client itself untill i exit relog curse.

Oh so there are two problems:

* The psyn links themselves are not working at all.

* The "find an addon" method of installing works unless you try to do a psyn install, then it doesn't work until you restart.

Clearly something about the psyn download is interfering. My first suspicion is that the client starts the psyn but something blocks it (perhaps a network configuration stalls it?) which prevents the client from doing further downloads. I'll set up some test scenarios to see if I can duplicate that behavior.

I was having the same issue - Curse Client open - using the website and using the tab that states install via curse client---does nothing. It will make it flash like its just about to fire up....but its more like a fail/fizzle. The whole point of the tabs on the website is to know what your installing and what not - and pretty much do it instantly. Now that it hasnt worked for "MONTHS" I have to search for them manually and hope to god its the correct one and not some hacked up version or lookalike...and pray to god its not something malicious----------as there is no rating whatsoever.

Is what shows up in the log when I try to run from a link using Firefox.

This is also happening with me Win 7 x64 with latest curse client.

If you're using CC v3, uninstall and reinstall.

If you're using CC v4, wait for the official announcement and the links will show up.
