While I'm here, probably the wrong place for it but can't find where I saw it before so... someone had an issue when the installation of the mod appeared to go ok but afterwards the mod folder was nowhere to be found. Had the same myself a couple of times before realising it was due to Comodo silently sandboxing the installer (it'll turn the installer window border green when it does this). Solution: cancel, relaunch, keep an eye on it this time and click the allow-unlimited on the Comodo pop-up. If you go make coffee, Comodo's default settings seem to cause the pop-up to time-out with a "no".

Tried with AV disabled, still getting multiple iterations of the launcher post-update, and a different error: ArtInfo: 'CITY_BILLBOARDS' was not found, followed by ArtInfo: 'ERROR' was not found & CtD.
Unless I'm mistaken, with AV enabled the launcher did not update itself; with AV disabled, it did (to 1.16). Edit: and it no longer shows "update available"; it always showed it before.

Ok. For the artwork error, replace this file http://civ.afforess.com/repo/Assets/XML/Art/CIV4ArtDefines_Misc.xml
Unfortunately, I think this is a different error.

Now, this one: http://civ.afforess.com/repo/Assets/Modules/Interface/Resource/Themes/Civ4/Civ4Theme_Common.thm
You had exactly the same error as Noyyau. The update had a problem, then the launcher seems to be restarted too early before the end of the update and will corrupt the art file and the theme file. I have to introduce a delay for this.

A-ha, yes, the old .thm was 0 bytes, presumably the other file too... I'm guessing it'd be hard to know how much of a delay to introduce... maybe having the updater check for 0-byte files would work?
Edit: I'm in, everything is as it should be, and you guys are awesome.

I would like to thank you to remember me this! When I wake up this morning, I had thought of a solution! I think the launcher is restarted at the wrong time by the updater, and because of multiple rsync process, they sometimes give the signal to restart multiple times. Then multiple processes of the launcher corrupt the files to check, which would explain the problem.
If that is the problem, the fix is quite simple!

I finally made the switch from SVN to the Checker, but I've not been able to get the updater to work. I've tried to update several times, but the updater just sits at 0% for hours. I've even tried updating with my firewall and anti-virus off, just to double check that they weren't blocking it, but that didn't work either. Does anyone have any idea what my problem might be?
I think some parts of the updater have not been updated with SVN. Just overwrite with these files: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/369241/launcherv1.17_test2.7z
Then, start the launcher and do: Menu -> Fix -> Check files again.
Tell me it works (it should
).

Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. I used a fresh install when I switched to decrease the chance of something weird happening, so your fix shouldn't have helped, but I tried it anyway and it didn't. I've tried again from a fresh install with the same results. The updater just sits at zero untill it times out.
Is there a "rsync.exe" at the root of the mod folder ? (it shouldn't) Could you try by disabling your antivirus or firewall ?
EDIT: The updater could be long to start as it displays 0% when it is loading the first file. For example, I updated the launcher in rev925, so the first file is large and can take a minute to be loaded (15mb).

I have tried disabling my firewall and antivirus already and it didn't work, and the updater sits at 0% untill it times out.
There is an rsync.exe in the checker folder though.
