not sure you're having quite the same problem OCainte as you get a report to
say it's successful, mine just keeps going and going unless i cancel it (to
which it then tells me they failed)
but Cit's problem looks to be exactly the same.
my computer is well maintained and the first hint of trouble came after i
installed that anti-spyware thing, Cit, do you have that installed too?
i'm going to remove it when i next get a chance and see what happens.
like i said, it looks like the problem is access denied when it opens the
BLOB file in the downloaded update folder. question is, what's blocking
access to that file?
if i solve this i'll report the result here, i'd appreciate it if you guys
would do the same. i have a feeling this problem will never get officially
confirmed, but lets hope eh?
