Even though there's nothing announcing it, if you go to the DDI page, you can now download the full version of the Character Generator.

Excellent!

Too bad I am at work and can't try it out but I will be downloading this as soon as I get home.

If you had the Beta version installed, try uninstalling it, downloading the new version, and installing the new version.

It also wants the newest version of .Net 3.5 SP1.

Are you on XP or Vista?

If you're on Vista, try to right click the icon and Run as Administrator. I think the update process is running afoul of Vista's security features.

If you're on XP, I don't know a quick, two-second fix. It will require troubleshooting.

It works in Windows 7.

If your sharing an account with someone can you both download it or is it limited to one PC?

XP, Beta is uninstalled.

I'm further than I was before. Now it freezes up while trying to download the update instead.

Make sure you uninstall the Beta version before installing the full version. If you tried installing over the Beta version, uninstall the full version and the Beta version, then install the full version.

You get 5 activations of the database downloading process per account, and they refresh when the database is updated monthly.

You might want to be careful with this, though.

I share my account with my two roommates, and we ran into a problem with the activation limit. My first roommate had no trouble installing it, but my updater was having problems applying the patch and would cancel out, so I had to uninstall and reinstall the character builder. It worked fine for me the second time.

When my second roommate installed it, he ran into the same problem, reinstalled, ran into it again, and then when he tried reinstalling it the third time it said that we had used up our activations for the month - apparently, the failed installs (mine and his) counted as activations.

I'll have to check what their policy is on shared accounts before I file a tech-support request - we all share an IP so hopefully it won't be an issue.
