No suprise, but I have the same problem with (X64)

yours already tryed set the full patch for the folder, like:
D:\autopatcher\apup\apup.exe /log

or create an txt file, with:
apup.exe /log

save it and then rename it to test.cmd and double click it?

Thank you for posting your log-file.

The error message that you see means that APUP is unable to connect to the Internet.

This is usually because APUP is being blocked by your Firewall, by your Anti-Virus software or by your Anti-Spyware software. Make sure that you have allowed apup.exe to connect to the internet, the same as Internet Explorer.

I doubt it. I have an "always on" DSL connection, and had no trouble before or after this in downloading all other current AP updates. As for my Symantec EndPoint Protection (the Corporate version) firewall, I hit the internet dozens of times a day and I have never had a problem either inbound or outbound. The problem with this one patch is on the AP end ~ why else would EVERY other "K" download correctly ... except this one?
BTW, I download every version of AP (except Win 2000 and XP x64) for a total of 3 Gig, and this one patch is the only one thet bombs out of the hundreds I have downloaded.

> all other current AP updates
in the past days, we have updated apup. if your firewall is running properly, it will detect that the program has changed and will ask if you allow it to access internet. if you say "no", the software will go to the black list and will be unable to run. you can check this by:
1 - looking into the rules of your firewall to locked programs and unlock apup;
2 - disable your firewall to test if apup will be able to reach internet.

> this one patch
releases.list isn't a path. it is the very first file that apup need to download, in order to know what scripts are online. in a short term, is this file that you see when you run apup and see his first screen

I don't. Your log file is absolutely clear. On this one occasion you failed to connect to anywhere on the Internet.

Bubba Gump, on Sep 28 2008, 05:09 AM, said:

There is no problem with this file. You cannot assert that there is a problem "on the AP end" when you didn't even reach the "AP end".

Now, as regards your second problem, (which is NOT the same problem NOR the same cause) what release did you download immediately before you downloaded the Vista 64-bit shown in you log-file?

Apup = 1.0.5
AP Engine = 5.6.81
AP Vista (x64) = 10 Sept 2008
My Vista = Ultimate SP-1

BTW, what happened to the posts before 9/25 12:29AM?

I think you may have misunderstood my last question, so let me re-phrase it more clearly.

In your last log-file there are the lines:

Quote

then the log-file reports an error involving rootsupd.exe.

This error only occurs if you download multiple Releases to the same folders. What I was asking was, when you ran APUP the previous time, what other Release did you download. Was it Windows XP? Or something else?
