Re: Updater error- won't complete
 

XP MCE

That helped.
Started the updater and immediately got an error box saying that there was "No error message available." I pressed OK and updater started.

Re: Updater error- won't complete
 

Got a 'time out' message at the end, along with the regular 'couldn't copy' message.
Nice having the option to put the Updater in the system tray.
Here's the log:

Close Updater

Re: Updater error- won't complete
 

That's progress. Try this build, please.

http://ppckitchen.org/buildos/updater.exe

The log will be big...you will see a section that repeats a LOT during the download. I'm only interested in the last 80 or so lines: the last 20 or so lines of the repeating section to the end of the log.

Re: Updater error- won't complete
 

The log is huge. But zipped got it smaller. Much.

Re: Updater error- won't complete
 

One more time, please.

http://ppckitchen.org/Buildos/Updater.exe

It may succeed; send log anyway.

Re: Updater error- won't complete
 

Didn't succeed, but had fewer errors than previous attempt. Wasn't signed, so authorized the certificate.

Re: Updater error- won't complete
 

Well, it's odd. It's generating a TimeOut error on the final read of the file. Very strange.

Try with his build. I've increased the buffer size on the odd chance that it will a) help with performance and b) help with this problem.

Also, what version of internet explorer do you have, and are you current w/ windows updater?

Re: Updater error- won't complete
 

I use what I think is the most recent version of IE7 [7.05.5730.11], but I usually use FF3 unless something indicates that IE will work better.
I am current with Windows Updater.

Re: Updater error- won't complete
 

Newest log. Getting much smaller.
I skipped the one from early this morning and just ran the last updater you posted.
