Update Initialization Error

Hey guys,

I just installed the game because I thought I'd take advantage of the free-gametime weekend.

So yeah, I installed the game, and launched it. But When I press Continue on the updater, I get this message :

-------

Update Initialization Error.

The update process could not be initialized.

Details: System.Exception: Unknown error (0xc0000005) (0xC0000005)

---------

Then the whole thing just shuts down.

I wrote to the tech support and they said I should uninstall the .Net Framework 1.1 and .Net Framework 1.1 SP1, then re-install them. So I did, but I  still got the same message. There dosn't seem to be any interferance with my Firewall, so I'm totally clueless.

I can't find the launcher.exe file though, is that a problem ?

    I use Windows Xp.

    Do you mean the file TurbineInvoker ?

    Same thing happens with that one :/

    Try posting on the Codemasters Techhelp forum instead (if you havent). There is usualy some player around who have had similar issues! I hope you find a way to solve it.

    If WoW = The Beatles
    and WAR = Led Zeppelin
    Then LotrO = Pink Floyd

    Thanks for the tip .

    But none of their suggestions have worked so far though :(

    Still can't update the game, I have re-installed it 3 times now ><

    Yay!

    Yeah I had to make a new Windows user, and delete the Lotro launch files in my other user.

    Weird, but I think I'll be able to play now anyways.

    Thanks a lot Papadam

    Exactly the same problem as me.  I had to make a new user too.    It's a hassle switching back and forth, but LotRO is worth it.
