PC Update Issue

[AlphaFox]

I keep getting mixed things here, to my understanding there is an update since Phase 4 ended for 8/22 that other people have already gotten. However I am getting the same error I got last time when we moved from Phase 3 to 4, being I try to update and it just sits there then tells me the following.

Unable to update patch files. [11005][20815][20866][19900][5]

I wouldn't be worried except it was already a day into Phase 4 when I had to resort to using a torrent to download the needed files as it refused to update. Note that I tried uninstalling, deleting the folders, reinstalling and everything and it kept having the same issue. Is there anything anyone can suggest?

Yeah I was only seeing PS3 threads and comments so I figured that might be a completely different thing but guess I'll just sit tight for now lol.

See my post at http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...=1#post1031667
Specifically the read-only section.

Well it removed the [5] error but regardless, still the same results. Having tried running as admin and not.

But did you check the folder if it's read-only or not? That's what helped people in the other thread at least...

Make sure that any changes are propagated to subfolders and files as well.

You may force a change by setting read only, then after letting that change take, clear read only flag again and let that change propagate through all subfolders and files...

The folders refuse to go from being read only, going into the folders and changing everything manually from read only was my only given option.

Did it fix all the problems or do you still have problems?

Still the same result as above, my bad for not being clear I had already switched em around and tried when I made mention of it.

As a last option if you're secure in your computer and Windows knowledge:
Rightclick on the Square Enix folder, go into Security tab, add your user name and assign full rights to that folder and subfolders.
Possibly going as low as the Program Files (or Program Files (x86)) folder...
Can't recall all the options in English, so you'll have to know some of this stuff on your own...

Well thanks for the help regardless but still not able to get anywhere with it. It seems like its going to go but then when it says "Updating to 2013..08.22.000.0001" it stalls out and just keeps blinking till the error comes up. >.<
