no, it was supposed to save under x:\modmii\copy_to_usb
I keep modmii saved on an external hard drive and I chose X because it is whitelisted from windows defender (i know this drive only has some programs, movies and recorded lessons, so if I dont whitelist it takes ages to disconnect safely from the computer because all antivirus like windows defender are trying to scan the drive)
Can but can you confirm this was working for u in 6.5.1 but not 6.6.0?

And when does it fail exactly? Is it installing neek, building an emulated nand. If u can record a video or be a bit more descriptive that would help

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

how do i get the other themes?
This is described in Modmii's new guides. Go the the riiconnect24 24 revival of spiffy, http://theme.rc24.xyz/

Get a mym, convert it to a csm for your specific system menu version, then install it. The complete softmod guide describes this in greater detail

I updated to 6.6.0, I cant say exactly if it happened before because I just updated, tried to make a uneek+di folder (i already have sneek installed, so it is just the builder option) and this happened.
Tried to change the folder, the partition, drag and drop some folder and nothing worked
Choosing another option such as sneek, going back and then choosing uneek+di again worked

OK, so I got to go to sleep now, past 6am, but I will look into this asap. Can u please tell me what I should type into modmii, in order to try and reproduce your error, be sure to tell me when to expect to see it (I. E. From the main menu, S, then 2 then etc, after pressing X I get this error, etc - or even better do a screen capture if it's easier than describing it)

Also if u would be so kind to try and reproduce the error on 6.5.1 that would be helpful!

R u saying that when selecting the Drive setting (I. E. Copy_to_usb), it would not accept your input? Not even "d" for default?

If u try again does it fail again? R u using modmii classic or modmii skin?

So what are the apps and channels that updated from the previous version? Because I think I am just gonna update those.

Edit: Update failed, downloading the USA files to temp file and will try again later.

"Some downloads are Invalid, Missing or Were Not Updated property.

Click Next to Retry"

I just keep getting this error even after downloading all the files in classic mode.

Do I need to nuke Modmii and install it frim zero or what?

Thanks! The video was very helpful to make me understand what is happening.
edit: found the problem, literally fixed it with inserting "U" in two places, bugfix update will come soon. Thank you so very much for reporting!

Well it depends, u didn't quite give enough info for me to say for sure. It's actually normal for some files to not download properly their first try, Nintendo's servers are finicky.

So what file(s) failed to download? And if u hit retry, does it download the one or two that didn't work before?

Thing is I get that error even AFTER downloading all the files in classic mode. So I should not be getting the error since all the files are there. Maybe the download list didn't get upgraded in the update or something?

I just successfully redownload the NUS_USA queue from scratch, no issues. If I understood you correctly, u did this as well, then got an invalid error when doing something else after? What is being reported as invalid?!

edit: since I fixed the last issue, I want to push a quick bugfix update, but I'd like to confirm whether what you're reporting is a bug or not first so I can make both adjustments (if necessary) in a single update to 6.6.1

Edit2: I pushed the 6.6.1 update already, I will push another one if this turns out needing one, but based on the info I have so far I think this might not need one

Files download okay in Classic Mode, give errors on modern mode even if the files are already there?

["Some downloads are Invalid, Missing or Were Not Updated property.

Gonna try the bugfix later.

If it's still a problem with 6.6.1 I will need to know what u entered into modmii so I can reproduce the error plz and thank you

I keep getting the error I posted even after downloading "ALL" using classic mode so the files are on the temp folder. Clicking "next" just keeps me sending back to the same error.

"Some downloads are Invalid, Missing or Were Not Updated property.

Click Next to Retry"

Basically stuff works in classic mode but it doesn't when ModMii Skin launches Classic mode to download things even if said things are already downloaded in the temp folder.

Edit: And now I tried the wizard using classic mode and crashed during the "copy to sd" part. Is because I skipped entering the Wii Mac address or something?

Edit2: Despite picking the ModMii folder to install the installer installed things in a sunfolder - -.

Trying again later.

Where do u have modmii saved and running on your PC (I'm particularly interested in if it has any special characters in the path)? What does your settings.bat file look like?

Your report is still unclear to me. I understand you successfully used classic to download queues, but afterwards u do "something" in modmii skin and it fails. I need to know what that "something" is

Edit: if u enter some REALLY messed up paths for the drive select (copy to SD) menu, it can cause modmii to crash.

Edit2: please in your next report, tell me the keystrokes you entered for me to replicate exactly what you r doing

Basically Modmii Skin cannot download files either to the SD card or to a folder successfully even if said files are already in the temp folder.

At least when using the wizard.

Uninstalled, copied temp file to a new install and trying again....

Edit2: Not even in classic mode the wizard works in fact it works even worse! At least using the skin some stuff does download!

Try running as admin. Where do u have it installed? Could your anti-virus be interfering?

Edit: how r u installing it? Use the 6.5.1 installer and have it update itself. Or manually extract the modmii6.6.0.zip somewhere with no special characters in the path, and if u need admin rights to write there also run it as admin

Edit2: if it's easier to record your screen instead of communicating your keystrokes and settings that would work too. I don't think it's complicated to answer the questions I'm asking, but just in case you find this easier I wanted to mention it.

Edit3: can u confirm if 6.5.1 was working for u all else being equal?

Tried everything, only downloads that work are the queue.

I don't know if only the wizard is borked or anything else.

Edit: 4: FINALLY!

S is not a valid mac address error!

Looks like it should work if I actually entered the Mac address.
