Cannot open more than two instances #3

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Configure so that software works with two copies
2. "Make a copy" of one of the existing copies (for total of 3)
3. Try to launch third copy

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected: Open 3rd instance. Instead, gives focus to first or second
instance (depending on which one was copied)

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
v0.5 on WinXP

Hi Geekciro,

If focus is given to the first or second instance, it usually means that a mutex
handle was not closed properly. 

For Vista/7, this can occur if gw is ran a higher privilege level than 
gwmultilaunch.
If gw was ran as admin and gwmultilaunch was not.

For all operating systems, this can also occur is the gw.exe was modified by 
another
program such as gwx2. For that, I would get gwsetup from arenanet and have it 
start
the install process to a different location so you can get a pure/clean exe from
arenanet.
