Uniupload issues

I followed the directions in the sticky posts (I think) but I keep having this issue:

Any ideas?

In your ACCOUNT\Accountname folder make sure the file
SavedVariables.lua exists.... this is a left over from older WoW clients.
Uniuploader checks for it to verify the account exists.

If the file doesn't exist then create one with random text
mine has a space and <CR><LF> aka spacebar and enter key.

Thanks for replying. That file didn't exist so I added it but I'm still getting the same error.

Is there a specific format to create the file as? I just made it a text document.

All Uniuploader does is verify the file name exists... for each of the accounts you select for uploading.
You might also want to manually find the WOW.exe.. i.e. help the program find the directory it will use as the root directory.

if that doesn't work... then send me a PM with pics of settings, options, about tabs.

Previously did that for the Wow.exe.

I'll take some screenshots and send them to you.

I would like to confirm bringoutyourdead's solution works. I had this same issue.

Your issue may have already been solved over PM months ago, but it's not working because you made it a text document, which is SavedVariables.txt. You need the file to be SavedVariables.lua, which is an lua scripting file. I'm quoting you and mentioning this just in case someone else runs across this post.
