I am so confused... I downloaded the buddywing bot from the download area, and when I ran it I got a message that it was outdated. I attempted to update it and my virus software deleted the file. I worked that out (which was difficult because I'm not so computer savy as most of you are). Then, I come back here to find the most current version and I get the same one that requires an update.
A few days ago, I somehow downloaded a set of profiles that worked. Then, the latest version of buddy wing requires profiles from the internet. So, I come back to this forum to download a working profile and I get caught in loops that either send me back to the top of the forum or else send me to WoW profiles.
Is there any way to make this less confusing for a guy like me? I need a simple button for the latest version of the bot and a simple link to each of the profiles that are available for testing. Please.

1) Create a folder in a location with good permissions. For example C:\Users\lotrodude\My Documents\BuddyWing
2) From the downloaded zip file "BuddyWing 1.0.872.284.zip" place this into your BuddyWing folder.
3) Extract the zip file, you should now have two items in your BuddyWing folder. The "BuddyWing 1.0.872.284.zip" and "BuddyWing 1.0.872.284" (because you just unzipped it)
4) Rename the folder you just unzipped to BuddyWing 1.0.872.284_DEFAULT (This is just so you know which installation of BuddyWing you have will be the one you use on a standard day by day basis
5) Make sure you have Subversion SVN Installed. Right click inside your BuddyWing folder and select "SVN Checkout" then enter the following url into the repository URL it is asking for:
kicks-swtor-scripts - Revision 336: /
6) After checking out, you should now have three items in your BuddyWing Directory
File 1) BuddyWing 1.0.872.284.zip
File 2) BuddyWing 1.0.872.284_DEFAULT
File 3) kicks-swtor-scripts
7) Now in the latest version, you CAN use a Web Link for the Profiles. But you do NOT have to do this. Go into your "BuddyWing 1.0.872.284_DEFAULT" folder and create a NEW directory called "Profiles".
8) Go back a directory level and go into "kicks-swtor-scripts" folder. You will see four more folders inside this. "branches", "tags", "trunk", "wiki". Navigate into the "trunk" folder and you will see two folders of interest to you. The "Empire" and "Republic" folders. Select both folders and press Ctrl+C to copy them to your clipboard. Then go back to your "BuddyWing 1.0.872.284_DEFAULT\Profiles" directory and press Ctrl+v to paste them into that directory.
9) Now to keep upto date with the latest WingIt which controls all the combat, CC and how your bot should use its abilities you will need to create another folder for another SVN. So go back to your "C:\Users\lotrodude\My Documents\BuddyWing"
and right click then select "SVN Checkout" just like you did before for the Profiles created by Kick. Now enter in the Repository URL: "https://subversion.assembla.com/svn/wingit.2/trunk/WingIt/" and press OK.
You should now have FOUR folders inside your BuddyWing Directory.
File 1) BuddyWing 1.0.872.284.zip
File 2) BuddyWing 1.0.872.284_DEFAULT
File 3) kicks-swtor-scripts
File 4) WingIt
Due to the nature of WingIt being improved on a regular basis, you should never change what is inside the WingIt folder, only ever use SVN Update. But if you would like to try out the latest SVN version which may contain fixes for certain classes then all you would need to do is go into your "BuddyWing 1.0.872.284_DEFAULT\Routines" directory folder, delete the folder named WingIt and replace it with the one in your BuddyWing Directory. You may even like to make another folder so that you have two folders for BuddyWing: BuddyWing 1.0.872.284_DEFAULT and BuddyWing 1.0.872.284_EXPERIMENTAL which you can always update the Routines folder with the latest WingIt for testing purposes so that you can help the developers test its changes.
When you first launch BuddyWing enter in your key and then when you select load profile, you should navigate to the directory BuddyWing 1.0.872.284_DEFAULT\Profiles (From Step 8 in this short guide) and choose one from either Empire/Republic and you should be set to go. Please always use a logging level Diagnostic or ExtremelySpammy when you are using the latest version of WingIt or BuddyWing as there is always a possibility of helping the developers improve the bot by providing good logs for them to analyze any problems it has encountered while botting.
UPDATE:
You should keep an eye on the kicks profile SVN as there ARE bugs in the profiles. Kick is working hard on improving these. The more people who actually REPORT rather than just use, the more fixes can be provided for the profiles. But every now and then you should update the kick SVN on your folder and re-copy the Profile XML files ( The Empire and the Republic folders ) into your "BuddyWing\BuddyWing 1.0.872.284_DEFAULT\Profiles" folder to make sure it's using the latest which may contain fixes for your character.
NOTE: FYI, I have no idea what Anti Virus you are using but I suggest you uninstall it and any other anti-virus software and then install Microsoft Security Essentials. It does not throw poor false positives and is a lightweight Anti-Virus with realtime scanning.
