Force Update not working

[Dry Paratroopa]

So, I might've installed BTW before ModLoader... but when I hit Force Update nothing goes away. All of my TMI, BTW, and ModLoader files are still there. I've tried waiting (for a half an hour) before checking, and still nothing. What am I doing wrong? I'm using version 1.2.5..

Force update clears your bin only not any other outstanding files you may have.

My bin's not changed either. Everything in minecraft.jar remains as it was.

Have you moved your minecraft install? It might be forcing the update to the old location if so.

Otherwise you can safely just delete everything in your bin folder to force a redownload of all the files, although you can usually just get away with deleting the minecraft.jar.

I do not believe so, because the location listed under the Force Update button is definitely where it gets played from.

I tried deleting minecraft.jar and Force Updating. Minecraft.jar was not replaced.

EDIT: Resolved: I simply deleted everything not in the default outside of minecraft.jar and downloaded a new one. This can be locked now.

The minecraft.jar should be re-downloaded when you start the game (rather than just the launcher) so you can skip the force update step.

Not sure why force update isn't working. It might be a permissions problem though. If you running windows try running the MC launcher as administrator.
