Our group reassembled for playing D&D and I reloaded the Character Builder.
It says I'm up to date but there is no Players Handbook 3 in the Campaign Settings, nor are the classes there - what did I do wrong?

Silly question, but have you scrolled down the window? It appears that the classes are now organized by source, so PHB 1 is first, then PHB 2, and finally PHB 3, which is followed by non-PHB sources.

Oct 16, 2010 9:35:43 That is very, very weird. If fixing it doesn't work, I would try uninstalling it completely, restarting your computer and then re-downloading/re-installing it.

Good luck and keep us appraised of what is going on.

Oct 16, 2010 10:17:11 I try updating it since 3 hours now... ok it's overseas from Europe but hmm... the connection is VERY slow.
I imagine something didn't work out with the download before and some files were missing, even while the green update bar is at 100% the update is not finished yet.

I had to uninstall the Character Builder, AND uninstall .NET 3.5 SP1.

I then reinstalled the Character Builder, and let it install the .NET framework for me. At that point, it was able to update successfully.
