manual update problem when set to auto update

[DavidR]

When you say it wasn't able to manually update for 18 hours, what errors were you getting ?

When this happens again after a manual update attempt of failed auto update - Post the last 200 lines from the bottom of the setup.log file, located here C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast5\Setup.

We have asked many times that you include your signature information in your profile, this helps us to help you as it saves us having to constantly ask questions about your system, as in the above location is for XP and I haven't got a clue what OS you have.

No error messages.  (I would have noted any error messages.) 
As stated, when I attempt to manually update, I get this:
"Already up to date (current version 100415-0)".
Today the version number is 100416-0.
The other standard update info is also given, such as
Total time
Download time
Download files
Server

WinXP, SP3

Here are the lines of the setup log.
When I tried to post 200 lines, I got this --> "The message exceeds the maximum allowed length (10000 characters)", so I'm just posting the lines from the most recent manual update attempt.

I compared them to the same lines from the setup log on the computer that just successfully manually installed 100416-1 and there are some very noticable differences.

Unfortunately I don't see anything obvious in there there doesn't seem to have been any attempt to access the download servers and I don't see why.

I agree.  When I compared that log segment to another segment in which no update was retrieved, there is no difference.  The noticable difference I alluded to is when comparing the log segment I posted to one from a computer in which an update is retrieved.

And once again, I am unable to get the second update of the day (100416-1) that has been available for probably 5 hours now, either automatically or manually.  It installed manually just fine on my other computer hours ago.  I will probably go the entire day without 100416-1 ever making it onto this computer, until tomorrow's auto update installs 100417-0 automatically.

Thanks for posting yours.  I will view it more carefully to see if I spot any differences.

[Snagglegrain]

Just reporting back that, for whatever reason, the update issue has disappeared.
For the last 2+ weeks I have been able to do manual updates when available
and the auto updates are taking placed intraday, as they were not previously.
Can't say I changed a thing, but I'm happy with the results
and I appreciate the attempts to help.

[ytahiti]

I have readed all the post about this subject and don't find why since I have updated for Avast 5.5.507 It's impossible to update the VPS (manually, automatically, with install/uninstall, etc...
my VPS is 100414-1!!!!!
If I don't find how to update, I will change for an other AV because it will be very dangerous
