I am still having problems with the update of the Minionlauncher_64.exe MD5 Changed update. I am able to continue to use Minion by saving a working copy of Minionlauncher_64.exe before the update and then restore from it after the update. BTW, I have no trouble with any of the other updates that have occurred over the past several days since I have had this problem. I am running Win10 and using Windows Defender with the C:/MINIONAPP folder excluded.
So, I launch Minionlauncher and it comes up as normal. Does a check for updates and tells me there is an update for Minionlauncher_64.exe MD5 Changed. I select the update and tell it to install. It performs the update as if everything was working normally. After the update it relaunches the Minionlauncher but the update I just installed shows again as a needed update. If I try to launch Minion at this point it will not start FFXIV.
At this point, if I look in the Minionapp folder I see the executable Minionlauncher_64.exe but it is only a 1KB file whereas the working executable was 4,194KB. I recover from this by deleting the just updated Minionlauncher_64.exe file and replace it with the copy I made before the update. I then restart Minionlauncher, ignore the update for Minionlauncher_64.exe and FFXIV launched normally, Minion attaches normally and all seems to work normally.
Although I am able to use the bot with this work around I am concerned if I can not perform this update it will eventually start causing problems. Any insight into how to get this update performed will be greatly appreciated.
