Figured it out by my self had to set permissions for folder browsing in IIS and had to add .thor   /// application/octet-stream in MIME-Type ( windows root)

Very smart reply.. That's what the dude said in that link. I want to know how he did it. I am finished with the folder browing in IIS. 

This is what I am trying to follow:

I did all that. Nothing changed. I set my mime-type to what the dude but nothing changed. Getting really frustrated to be honest.

[mrlongshen]

can you post your config here ?

[Valiente]

I have had people checked my config file and main.ini and there's no problem according to them so I really don't see any difference.

 

If you'd like, we can use Teamviewer for you to understand what my problem is.

HOLY MOTHER OF....

Thank you... I have spent 3 days for this. You will not be forgotten. 

I wonder why it wouldn't work with either my webhost or 000webhost.

Hello, Any resolution regarding this issue? I am also experiencing this error.. 

 

Here's my main.ini

//Thor Patcher remote config file
[Main]
//Allow patching or not?
allow=true

//Should patcher ignore everything else and finish patch immediately?
Force_Start=false

//if not, what message should appear?
policy_msg=Server is taking a nap.

//file_url - patch files should ALL put here.
// This config entry will override the one in embed config.
// o HTTP:
// http://domain.com/dir/
// o FTP:
// ftp://domain.com/dir/
// o With <Username> [Password] [Port]
//    ftp://username:[email protected]:port/dir/
// o Note: username is required if want put password, otherwise everything is optional.
file_url=https://jamropatch.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/patcher/data/

[Patch]
//use CheckSum tool, hash for client & patcher
// used to make sure exe is up to date
// (leave empty to disable this feature)
ClientSum=
PatcherSum=


//This is compressed file for patcher & client update
// To make these work, ClientSum and/or PatcherSum can't be empty
// Note: these files should put same place as patch file (file_url in internal config)
//Relative address, not FULL URL!
ClientPath=
PatcherPath=

// Patch list file
PatchList=plist.txt

[Stars]
// Shining o.O (Anyways, its for start button clones)
// Since orignal client has check sum.. why not for clones? XD


//How many? (it should same as amount of start button clone, but of course it's your choice)
clients=0

// _sum - checksum, use CheckSum tool.
//client1_sum=
// _Name - Filename of exe
//client1_Name=
// _Path - Path for file [Compressed]
