Minimwatch error creating download file - ksalno - 18-01-2016 18:24
I'm trying to download and install the newest release of Minimwatch on a Win10 PC. I get a generic error message that simply says there was an error creating the download file. I checked the logs and it says the same. No indication of what the error is or how to fix it. Any ideas?

Is this message produced by the browser that you are using to do the download or does it happen when you try to launch MinimWatch? Which logs did you check?

MinimWatch is already running, the error comes from when I try to do the automated update. The log is the MinimWatch log that can be accessed from the icon in the system tray as Log (watch).
Anyway, np because I manually downloaded the latest release and installed it. All running fine now.

This is probably caused by a file permission error when MinimWatch is trying to open a file for writing in the "libext" directory. It might happen if you have two instances of MinimWatch running that are both trying to download and write to the same file.
If it happens again, you can get more information about the problem by setting the logging level to Debug and retrying the download.
