Automatic Update not working
« on: May 09, 2007, 06:15:54 PM »
I have Avast 4.7.1001 Home Edition running on Vista Home Premium. I can update iAVS & Program manually, but my automatic updates are not working. The Warning.log file shows:

5/9/2007   10:39:25 AM   1178725165   SYSTEM   1756   Function setifaceUpdatePackages() has failed. Return code is 0x00000426, dwRes is 000003E6. 
5/9/2007   10:39:25 AM   1178725165   SYSTEM   1756   An error has occured while attempting to update. Please check the logs. 

Can anyone help me out?

If you search the board for 0x00000426 will you find anything that help you?

Tried that with no results. Also tried searching for 000003E6 to no avail.

Interesting; can you try a repair of avast installation?
(Control Panel -> Programs and Features -> avast! Antivirus -> Change/Remove -> scroll the list and select Repair).

Thanks

If the problem persists after trying to repair, as Vlk said, please, post the last 100-150 files of avast log: C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\DATA\log\Setup.log

I've been away for a bit (hospital) and am now ready to try some of the suggestions.

My current info is:
avast! Build: May2007 (4.7.1001)
VPS Compilation date: 5/7/2007

I just did a REPAIR as Vlk suggested. I'll just have to wait for an auto-update to occur to see if that helped. If not, I'll post those lines of the log.

BTW, I have also had somewhat similar problems updating the Windows Defender files and using McAfee auto update (which I had prior to using Avast)

You could try this:
McAfee has an uninstall tool that you could run to ensure any possible remnants are removed.

Windows 10 Home 64bit/ Acer Aspire F15/ Intel Core i5 7200U 2.5GHz, 8GB DDR4 memory, 256GB SSD, 1TB HDD/ avast! free 24.2.6105 (build 24.2.8918.824) UI 1.0.799/ Firefox, uBlock Origin, uMatrix/ MailWasher Pro/ Avast! Mobile Security

The REPAIR did NOT work. This morning when I fired up the computer, I got the Update Error box again. I have attached the part of the setup.log from 5/14/2007, when I did the REPAIR. I couldn't post it because of size limits.

DavidR, I did run the McAfee Cleanup Tool after I deleted McAfee.

I just checked the WARNING.LOG. and found a new entry today.

5/15/2007   7:52:51 AM   1179233571   SYSTEM   1668   AAVM - scanning warning: x_AavmCheckFileDirectEx [UNI]: C:\Windows\assembly\GAC_MSIL\LOG.Foundation\2.0.2536.35576__90ba9c70f846762e\LOG.Foundation.DLL (C:\Windows\assembly\GAC_MSIL\LOG.Foundation\2.0.2536.35576__90ba9c70f846762e\LOG.Foundation.DLL) returning error, 00000005. 

I also got a warning through Windows Security Center about outdated AV files. The "Update Now" button in Windows Security Center DID work (manual again) and my "VPS Compilation date" now shows 5/15/2007.

Well the windows error 5 = "Access is denied" which for its location is probably file protection.

Sjd, by your log, I suggest installing from the scratch. You have problems with security access to the avast folder C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\*.*

1. Uninstall avast from Control Panel first.
2. Boot.
3. Use Avast Uninstall for complete uninstallation.
4. Boot.
5. Install again.
6. Boot.

Just wondering ... what in the log brought you to this conclusion?


sjd,

may we see the end of the log ... just after you have experienced an error?

The user must be logged for me to download the log again and check what was my previous mind...
Or something else is blocking me to download the log (I've tried Firefox and IE).

It is working for me, if you press the mouse wheel (or middle button), it should try to open in a new tab (my setting in firefox), but for me firefox pops-up the Open With or Save to Disk dialogue window.
