McAfee v8.5i not updating

[fh786]

Hi,

I seem to be having a problem on a few machines of the McAfee engine not updating and the updates are failing. Some machines work and some don't; the OS is Windows 2000 Pro and Server 2000.

Here is the log of the update:

do you know which version of agent are you running on these boxes?

I 'm having this trouble too(thought it was just me)
I went into the console clicked on updates then un-ticked the update engine updates then clicked update now and it all worked.

Tried updating the engine and it fails every time. Would like to know why.

Never argue with an idiot, they drag you down to their level and beat you with experience

I fixed the above problem by updating my AntiVirus with the latest patch from McAfee, which I beleive is patch 8 and everything updated successfully.
