I have been using WAU for a while now but today my addons would not appear in the list. I ran the diagnostic log and it spewed out this :

I have no idea what caused this error and I have tried uninstalling WAU and removed the Temp and registry entries but it still brings up this error. If anyone could point me in a direction as to how to fix this I would appreciate it.

Been getting this "Error loading addon list Object reference not set to an instance of an object." error all morning. The last time I was updated was yesterday. FYI I don't have any of the "suspect" addons mentioned above. It looks like I last updated the following when I hit my Ctrl-F7 key:

We are now aware of the issue thanks, please refrain from posting that you have the issue anymore. :)

Reloaded the index and it worked this time. Thank you Easter Bunnies!

I was under the impression that reloading your index fixed this issue, but I have been unable to fix it by hitting f5 or by selecting the option manually. Tried reinstalling WAU and that didn't work either. Are there any other fixes that I was unable to find?

I was browsing the forums hoping to find a solution as well. I've been getting:

WAU Version (1.9.45.718) assembly version (1.9.45.718)

Auto-retry of addon list load

My programming skill is 0/350 and appreciate all the hardworking programmers with 350/350 skill, but could this issue have a look at please? I've come to rely on this wonderful addition to WoW.

Thank you in advance :)


EDIT: apparently it works now. Thanks to whomever is responsible. :D

Error I get: (visible in the output section)

I updated my net2.0 and 3.0 frameworks (I really dont know what these are.. but.. I updated them! /lol

Any one got any ideas for me to try?

I'm getting the same error.

To: VB -- hit F5.. (with WAU up) I was reading in another post with same problem.. and.. this appears to have fixed it for me.

Had the same problem since yesterday. Tried reinstalling and still just a blank screen with "Ready" at the bottom.

Tried that too. no result. :(

Any other explanation? F5 and re-installing don't change anything, it's still just a blank list.

Make sure your firewall/antivirus etc aren't blocking the datastream.

I am still having a problem where my whole screen just comes up blank with nothing on it. I opened port 80, re installed the program, turned my firewall off at one point, hit F5 (reloading index), and moved my wow folder to my desktop(i did change path in the WAU).

please help me out.

Thanks,
Joey
