Re: Vistumbler 9.0 Broken Update
hmm...weird. I've never seen anything like that...
I would try deleting vistumbler.exe and running update.exe (both in the main vistumbler folder). it looks to me like the vistumbler exe is corrupt. running update.exe will re-download the missing vistumbler.exe

Re: Vistumbler 9.0 Broken Update
It doesn´t work. Please, look at attached update screen hardcopy. It seems that the download of vistumbler.exe by update is failing, corrupting vistumbler.exe.

Re: Vistumbler 9.0 Broken Update
Are you able to download these files. This is what the update is trying to download

Re: Vistumbler 9.0 Broken Update
Yes, I can download, at least from home. And repeated the process from home, just a few minutes ago, with no problem.
Maybe it was caused by firewall at work. Will repeat it from there tomorrow.
Tks,

Re: Vistumbler 9.0 Broken Update
Looks like the culprit was the firewall at work, which, instead of blocking access to vistumbler.exe, let download it partially, corrupting the file.

Re: Vistumbler 9.0 Broken Update
OK. Here is the cause of the Problem.
Antivir is telling me it has a Nasty ( TR/Startpage.dgp )
Antivir is cutting this out or causing it to disapear.
Please take a look at this.

Its coming in the moment you start the Update.
By me it gave me the update, that was OK. then asked me if i wanted the following update. And Bingo. ( Antivir Alert ) and action.
If you install the second update Antivir will deleat it causing the programm Vistumbler to disapear. ( Main Vistumbler .EXE )
Nasty little bleiter this one.

Re: Vistumbler 9.0 Broken Update
I have sent antivir an email. hopefully this is resolved soon.
one thing i noticed is it seems like only the stable release (9.01) is being detected as a virus. The latest beta (9.1 Beta 2.1) is not being detected.
Here is 9.1 beta 2.1 zipped if you want it. http://downloads.sourceforge.net/vistum ... 1_b2_1.zip

Re: Vistumbler 9.0 Broken Update
Donations are always helpful. In the time i've accepted donations i had about 5 people give(around $60 in total). Any little bit helps, since my server cost me about $60/month in electricity and with the new google ads I make about $20/month. So with a $40 monthly loss, donations are much appreciatedFreebe wrote:OK. Will try it. let you know if i get Problems
