Manual Update (offline) impossible
« on: February 05, 2010, 07:51:10 AM »
Hi,
my notebook at home only has a dial-up connection, so I'd like to update manually with the pack from "http://www.avast.com/download-update" I get from a fast PC at work.
Even after deinstalling avast v. 5.0.377, cleaning with avast 5 removal tool and ccleaner, reboot and install v. 5.0.396 it always says:
Please report follong errorcodes:
Ver:5.0.377
SI:0x00000002
ST:0xFFFFFFFE
LE:0x00000000

I have a Pentium III notebook, WinXP SP3 and ZoneAlarm Pro firewall, which is open to AvastSvc.exe and avast.setup.

Besides: I can force update from the avast-UI with my dial-up connection but it lasts 10 times as long as v. 4.8 (about 10 minutes). Any ideas?
THX!

Are you sure you installed the latest (396) version?

Some things to try...(bear in mind I am guessing a bit...)

SI:0x00000002 = Error 2 - File not Found

-Have you updated to the latest version of avast! (5.0.396)  --> The error suggests that you haven't.
-Can you try to download the updater again --> It may have been corrupted...

-You could also try a repair of avast!:

******Avast Repair******XP

Can you try a repair of Avast?
Start-->control panel-->add/remove programs -->avast antivirus --> click remove --> scroll down and click repair

******Avast Repair******Vista

Can you try a repair of Avast?
Start -->control panel -->Programs -->uninstall a program -->avast! Antivirus -->Click 'Uninstall/Change -->Scroll down and click repair

First of all, thank you for your help!
@ spg SCOTT:
Yes, I have version 5.0.396 installed... What was going on better this weekend was the time of the update (virus-defs and  programm-check), it now lasts about 5 minutes only (dial-up).
I was downloading the updater several times from different computers from http://www.avast.com/download-update - always the same negative result, see my first post.
I will try out your proposal of repairing avast!

Yesterday I tried a repair of avast!, but no change concerning the manual virusdefinitions-update from http://www.avast.com/download-update. And - once again - I have the latest version 5.0.396. I really consider of switching back to avast! 4.8...
Any other helpful ideas?

Hi,

After i download and do the VPS update,

There is nothing error notification display at my notebook.

But only show that my VPS already up to date, and then from avast ask me to reinstall avast engine because my avast not properly installed.

This was a one-time sucess! Next manual virusdefinitions-update failed again...
So I'm hoping for the next program-version!

Still no change, offline virus-defs-update impossible, despite repair/new installation after cleaning/switching off firewall - no ideas?

After updating to version 5.0.462, the manual (offline) virus-definitions-update did work once (see above). Next day, next vpsupd.exe the known message appeared again...  :-\
So STILL waiting for next program-version and hope this problem will be fixed! I'M NOT ALONE!

I'm on dialup too, and it takes me around 5 minutes or so if nothing else is running. By manual, you just clicked on "update engine and virus definitions" under maintenance=>updates, right?
