Updating MRS Files

[rahulbisme]

So my launcher can update DLLs and EXEs, but not MRS files. I went to the directory of my updates to test this. Heres what happens when I try to download an MRS file.





Then when I click it,




So if you can't read that, it says...

You need to set MIME types because you're using IIS. I don't really know each option's name because it's been over a year since I used IIS.

Go to Start > Run > inetmgr > Right click on your computer's symbol in inetmgr (I don't know what it's called) > Go to the HTTP Headers tab > Click on MIME Types > Add new MIME type > Extension = .mrs > (I don't remember what the second field is called) but type "application/octet-stream" there (without quotes, duh) > OK > Save > Apply > Restart IIS.

Your launcher will update .mrs files and you will also be able to download them by typing the filename.mrs.

P.S.: Advertising in signatures is against the rules. You may keep the image (banner) but please take off the link.
