Does the offline updater (vpsupd.exe) work for anyone else?
« on: February 05, 2016, 10:30:11 AM »
I want to use Avast Free on my XP  machine that has no internet connection, but i need to test it out first.

I installed it on my own W10 machine and tried to update via vpsupd.exe but it gives me an error: Cannot open SFX archive. Installer cannot continue.

Downloaded from here: https://www.avast.com/en-gb/download-update

I even downloaded all 3 just to see if i was crazy.

Installed Avast on another machine and still get this error.

Well i have yet to install it on my XP machine, since i cannot get it to work on my W10 machine.

Im using Avast Free V11.1 on a W10 62-bit with nothing else security installed. I had malwarebytes installed before Avast.

There is indeed something wrong with the standalone vps updates.

But why not use the automatic updates or update through the GUI ?
Connecting the XP system to the internet shouldn't be hard to do.

Sorry, i edited my first post. I am not connecting my XP to the internet for my own reasons, that is why im using the vpsupd.exe. But yet i cant test update with vpsupd even on my W10 machine that is connected to the internet.

The version doesn't matter.
All the standalone vps updaters are not working.
