I try "old" links - SOA updated to new version (1.3.3.89). Than I will try now to update my client.
-
Ok, my client PC (win10) with EPSP was updated to new version from console (from settings beta not find new version), version EPSP have #8.0.1606
People with bug of not updated VDB on WinXP, please write here - do you have this bug after update to new release or no?
-
Thanks for (after a sooooooooo long wait) update.
But first "Houston, WE still have a problem": When I try to update a SOA console under the console "About" ->"Update" tab it says "Your program is up to date"....SO now I try to downoad and update manually... ??? I hope that works ;)

SOA update is not working directly from console, download standalone installer and try again (please run a backup job before).

The "non-plus-ultra" in the story: the new SOA required the latest Silverlight plug-in, BUT the "Click here to download the latest version of Silverlight" link points to an older version... so everyone with the same issue go and download Silverlight plug-in from the Microsoft's Silverlight site... ::)
BTW.. Standalone SOA installer works flawless...

Great news, we're hoping so.
But yes for silverlight installations you can do the following for chrome.
How to Enable NPAPI plugins (Silverlight) - Windows only
1. Open Chrome and browse to chrome://flags/#enable-npapi
2. Click the Enable NPAPI setting.
3. After that, click "Relaunch Now" at the bottom of your Chrome window. Note: Closing and reopening Chrome is not sufficient, you must click the "Relaunch Now" button.
4. Once Chrome relaunches, verify Silverlight is installed by browsing to http://www.microsoft.com/getsilverlight/Get-Started/Install/Default.aspx
5. If you see the below message, browse back out to Panopto and continue as normal
6. If you see the below message, Silverlight is not currently installed. Please click the "Click to Install" button to install Silverlight.
This should resolve your issue but if not please let me know.

@Che Johnson
Your post for Chrome will not work for *64 Chrome, as I know - all x64 browsers not work with Silverlight
But I will check now this, and say - works or no
-
chrome://flags/#enable-npapi - I not see exactly npapi "enable" in opened page-list of experimental features.
-
Yes, npapi not in list, because
NPAPI support will be completely removed from Chrome. We expect this to happen before the end of 2014. – (Google Chrome team)
This means by end of this year Silverlight will stop functioning in the Chrome browser, which represents roughly a 45% audience based on June 2014 browser statistics.

Go test !!!
Congratulations Avast :o :'(

Do not updating EAE.
add\remove program\AEA\Update\Check for Update -- System can not find such path
c:\install\setup_enterprise_eps.exe -> update -> next -- There was an error for changing product configuration

Fact is Silverlight will died like Flash in the near future, with all security bugs, that is the cause why Chrome, FF and all others kicked it out, and the workaround help but it not the right way for the future, Avast !
"Microsoft announced that the upcoming Edge browser, available in Windows 10, will not support Silverlight for video playback. Originally developed by Microsoft as an alternative to Adobe Flash, development around Silverlight was focused on streaming media, but became obsolete over time as support for a more universal standard in HTML5 was being developed. Microsoft actively stopped developing Silverlight in 2013 and competing browsers, like Google Chrome, are ending support for Silverlight."

Hi, I can't run the latest SOA on Windows 2003 Server. It complains that Silverlight is out of date, but it's running the latest version available for XP/2003 which is 5.1.40416.0. There is a later version 5.1.41105.0, but appears to be for Windows 7/2008 Server and later.
Any way to bypass the check for the latest version?
-
First thank you for the release for Windows 10
Second, the firewall refuses to install. Have tried on multiple machines and its a no go.
I have ran uninstall/change from control panel to manually add the firewall and its a no go also. States "The Avast! Firewall driver couldn't be installed. The installation will proceed without the avast! firewall component."
The firewall is enabled on the AEA.
Anyone ideas as to what may be wrong... Client is Windows 10 Pro

-
Try to restart PC 2-3 time (I'm serious), and than firewall will start. Not forget to disable Windows firewall.

I'm using Avast EPS with Enterprise Administration Console and have 600 users. Around 400 users are located at the remote site with connected by private network. I can update VPS for the remote client normally, but it can't be update the program since they don't have Internet access. It's a problem why the program update through the Internet instead of our EAS server. Please help and thanks in advance.

Hi, Firewall won't start even after multiple reboot. >:(

You could deploy a secondary mirror to that site and point the clients to it.
-
Also make sure your not over your license count since with EA if those machines are not connected they would try to update via the internet. Check to see if you have any key icons in your computer catalog over any of the machines?

Hi, to all of you having problems with SOA+Silverlight, here you have a post from the spanish forum that I hope help you (google translate but I think it will be clear):
I have the console and start again with the latest version.
It turns out that the version of Silverlight is requesting the 5.1.40728.0 console while the link opens in the browser or on the official website is 5.1.30514.0 or 5.1.40416.0, depends on (or XP operating system W2003Server ).
I searched Google full version 5.1.40728.0 download and once installed and restarted the browser, and I have access to the console.
I put the links that I have located:
32bit
http://silverlight.dlservice.microsoft.com/download/8/E/7/8E7D9B4B-2088-4AED-8356-20E65BE3EC91/40728.00/Silverlight.exe

You could deploy a secondary mirror to that site and point the clients to it.
Firstly, as far as I knew, if I don't deploy the secondary mirror, all the client should connect my EAS as first priority update source instead of the Avast public server.
Secondly, I have built the mirror server, the client was connected for VPS update, but it still connect to the Internet for program update.

My AEA does not see the update when I go to Add/Remove programs and select the Update function. It reports the following:
Downloads and updates the latest version of all avast! components.
Current version:
- program: 8.0.369
- setup: 8.0.369
Latest version available:
- program: 8.0.369

Hello ALL
I just wanted to inform you we are aware that currently EA does not show the current version to update via the control panel. This will be fixed by tomorrow 12/15. There was an issue on the update server which is why the new version is not available.
Example attached.
Very sorry for the inconvenience but did want to inform you fix will be available soon.

Hello!
Cosmetik? After the installation i get an error when i start the AdminConsole that the following Site is not available...
http://program.cms.wg.int.avast.com/prod/output/program.avast.com/api/?action=1&p_pro=35&p_elm=287&p_vep=11&p_ves=0&p_vbd=2200&p_lid=de-de&p_lng=de
Installation on Windows 10 and Windows 7 works fine.

Firstly, as far as I knew, if I don't deploy the secondary mirror, all the client should connect my EAS as first priority update source instead of the Avast public server.
Secondly, I have built the mirror server, the client was connected for VPS update, but it still connect to the Internet for program update.
It should do what you configure it to do.
Untick the 'If mirror is unreachable, update from the Internet' option in Computer catalog > Policies: avast! Antivirus > Updates and let us know if the clients update the program from the Internet now.

Finally, the version works with Windows 10. However, I have some issues with Windows 7 and Windows 8 now! Windows reports that no anti-virus is installed. I'm pretty sure that the anti-virus is actually working (my SOA console shows it to be ok on all computers), so this might just be something 'cosmetic'. Has anyone else experienced this?

It is December 17th and I still get the 8.0.369 as the latest after clicking on Update. Any chance this will be working this week?
Thanks!

Thanks adynes. I have now gone through the process of a full removal of avast on all Windows 7 and 8 PCs and a full re-install, and this solved the problem. I'm glad I only had 9 to do rather than hundreds!

What's the status with being able to update the AES control thru add/remove program and selecting Update? Its been over a week now since we were told the issue would be resolved on 12/15.

I have contacted technical support and they recommended to me manuály download installer of appropriate version of EA and run it.
It works! Installer updated EA to latest version.

I have installed a fresh version of the new EAC on a Windows 7 machine, and while the console is up and running and I was able to create a deployment package, my clients are not showing up in my computer catalog. I even tried installing the client on the host computer and still nothing. All of my new clients are in trial mode as the console isn't communicating with them. Please help.

Does "tomorrow" have a different meaning on your planet than the rest of us? It's now coming up on 3 months later, and it's still not fixed.

We are having the same issue as others on this forum.
When checking for updates via the Control Panel --> Programs and Features we get the following:
Current version:

- setup: 8.0.369
Latest version available:
- program: 8.0.369
- setup: 8.0.369
Publishing date: Apr 04, 2014
It is March 31, 2016. Please advise when this issue will be taken care of.
Thank you.

I finally downloaded the latest installer and now when trying to run the Console it get an error:
The server certificate does not seem to be valid! Either is has an invalid signature or it is expired.
I cannot get in to the console now.
Anyone else run in to this?
Jason
*Update - I found the option in EAS Maintenance to renew the certificate. After renewing and rebooting I am able to login again.
