It might take up to 30 minutes. Depending on the hardware and disk type.
3. Open folder WZ\bin\build\updater\ and delete the file WarZlauncher.exe_1.0.0.exe
4. Open folder WZ\bin and delete the file WarZlauncher.exe_1.0.0.exe
5. Open WZ\bin\build\updater\CreateUpdater.bat
This will create WarZlauncher.exe_1.0.0.exe to WZ\bin\build\updater\
6. Copy WarZlauncher.exe_1.0.0.exe to WZ\bin replacing the old one
7. Copy WZ\bin\build\data\wz.xml to WZ\bin\build replacing the old one

Running server
1. Open WZ\bin\MasterServer.exe
2. Open WZ\bin\SupervisorServer.exe

Testing
1. Copy the new WarZlauncher.exe_1.0.0.exe to another computer to a new folder and run it.
2. Register account and wait until the updater downloads all the files.
3. Start by pressing Play.
4. Create a player and join the server to test if everything is working.

One quick question i have is i'm on IIS and when it says 12. Right click on api and select Convert to Application i do that on everything and it does not work even on application pool where it is suppose to be please help me?

[ztimer]

@darragh118

If you did every step as described. You must open your eyes and search for it on the screen. You will have it open.!
api is under Sites -> Site -> api
If you don't see it then you for some reason retracted Site tree. Please click on the + sign in front of Site

[darragh118]

@ztimer all i have is aspnet_client and warz once you click + on Site plus is IIS required for the server?

[ztimer]

Thank you for pointing this out. I missed the creation of api folder. Please refresh the page. I updated the primary post to include this.

@ztimer I had uninstalled my Windows SQL 2008 and attempted to reinstall it with the correct steps and now it continuously says that i already have the program installed and that's the only thing stopping me from continuing it please can you help?

[ztimer]

@darragh118

Im sorry to hear this. You are better off starting from scrach.! Do a clean windows install and follow the instructions.
Im not going to help troubleshoot SQL installations and fixing windows for you. I mean no disrespect.

[leison54]

you can make a tutorial for windows 7 please?

Thanks for this tutorial.

[ztimer]

you can make a tutorial for windows 7 please?

Thanks for this tutorial.

To set this up on windows 7. Follow the same instructions but the main difference is the IIS installation.
Install it from Control Panel -> Programs and features -> Turn windows features on or off. Select the same packages.
Select also Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5.1
Do not attempt this unless you are sure you will go trough with it and are unable to use Google as your helper.
The source part is exactly the same.

But the instructing you to set it up here would go off topic cause the tutorial is for server 2008 R2.

Ok, I'll try, but if the difference is only in IIS 7 installation will not have problems.

@leison54

@ztimer I did everything the tutorial to fix the loot its still does not work

[ztimer]

@Oosmar02

I'm sure you did not do everything in the tutorial. If you did everything then you would not get this problem.
I would recommend going to Internet Information Service IIS and navigate to Sites -> Site then open PHP Manager
There I would suggest opening Enable or disable an extension. Look closely can you see php_sqlsrv.dll and state Enabled

If not then:


1. Open Web Platform Installer
2. In the search box type Microsoft Drivers 3.0 for PHP v5.3 for SQL Server in IIS and on the keyboard press Enter
3. From the search results select Microsoft Drivers 3.0 for PHP v5.3 for SQL Server in IIS and click Add
4. Click Install
5. Accept by clicking I Accept. The installation process begins.
6. Click Finish. Now you can close the Web Platform Installer.

Check if your problem is missing.!

Hmm. should not have happened if you use the tutorial step by step and using only the source and files given here. I suppose you missed a step. Please try again. Can you give some more details on what part of the this tutorial you got stuck.

Ok is working ! THX man

[SmooshyCow]

./WarZLauncher is not recognized as an nternal or external command, operable progam or batch file

CreateUpdater.bat isnt working do you know why? @ztimer

[ztimer]

@SmooshyCow

I assume the reason is because you did not follow the instructions here correctly. Or you have a different source and did come here to find a solution for the problem not caused by this tutorial.!
