I have not had this issue in the past when trying out HL but it seems like I have hit a brick wall.
The downloader works fine up until the processing power index when it gives me an error: Could not parse XML document 'C:\users\ Username \ appdata\local\temp\ddicrawler\powers_index_1.xml' . power import cannot continue. Is this because of a change to the formatting of powers in DDI? |

I just started using the app last night and consistently get the same error as above.
I'm on Windows 7 64-bit. I tried run as administrator, although my normal user is an administrator too. No dice. Thanks for any help on this issue. |

I'd have to say I am unsure about your problem, as far as I know they haven't updated the compendium lately. I know some people using windows 7 have to run HL in Administrator mode to get the downloader working which has been mentioned in other threads. You might want to try that. I also know the downloader should be getting an update again this month. I checked the D&DI content calendar and it doesn't show any changes to compendium.

I am having the same problem running Vista 32 bit. I tried running both regular and admin mode and no luck.

You might want to send an email to the support email for lone wolf development, I am out of ideas on this.
I checked the Compendium site and they haven't updated it yet, they may have changed the coding on it, again, without saying anything but I am unsure about it. |

Do people from support monitor the forum?

The compendium site says that it hasn't been updated since the 7th. However, it looks like the compendium site is now returning errors when we try to retrieve something like the list of powers.
I'm investigating this now to see if there's another way the downloader can do it that won't cause these errors. Sorry for the inconvenience, all. |

Ah...
I just tried to download the ddi files (Windows XP, No Insider Account) and get the same error when it hits the powers index.

OK, I've investigated this a bit. There appears to be a problem with the D&D Compendium web site, where if you search for powers with no text specified. The server, instead of returning a file with the list of powers, is returning this instead:
Code:
An error occurred while parsing EntityName. Line 1, position 743727. http://www.wizards.com/dndinsider/co.../database.aspx Choose "Powers" from the drop-down list, and click "Search". No powers are displayed, because the server is reporting an error. The same search for Feats or Items work properly. If you're running into this problem, you should report it to WotC customer service, since it's an actual problem with the D&D Compendium web site. Here's what you can report: Quote:

Further applying a filter on Powers (such as "Class: Fighter") seems to work fine. Is that something you can pursue?
