Will an automatic update be available through MSAS or do
I have to download and install it manually from the
website? If an automatic update will be provided when
will that be?

Regards
 
An automatic update has been available for some time--perhaps since last
Thursday or Friday, not certain. However, it is pretty sparse on the
ground--I've seen an offer of the update on two out of 3 dozen machines I
work with, and haven't managed to actually upgrade either one via that route
yet.
 
Bill,
Just so you know, I did manage to auto-update one machine. I accepted the
offer when first offered, and it worked fine.
On another machine I said leave it a day and never got prompted again. :-(

I had the same experience... I said leave it a day and never got prompted
again...a customer of mine reported this morning that he had the same
experience...when prompted to get updated MSAS software he said remind me
again in one day, but was never reminded. Does anyone know what's going on
with this reminder and with the updated software?

I've now seen an auto-update that worked myself--so I know it can happen.
Whether it'll cover the installed base before the deadline, I'm not sure.

I just got prompted by my own machine, even though I updated from the web
site a couple of days ago. I said yes and it got on with it and did the
update. I thought I was already on 614, so a bit puzzled.
Anyway, I suspect whoever did the date/time functions in the original
product did something different for each situation, resulting in chaos.
I do know that since the update it is not possible for me to schedule a scan
in the afternoon or evening, even though it was before. And the check for
updates does not always trigger at the same time each day either.
Oh well, see what happens in the next update.
Regards
Dave
 
You are in a locale with a 24 hour clock format. If you change just the
time format to 12 hour, you will be able to schedule in the afternoon.

I agree with your thoughts about the original programming. In the current
build most dialog boxes now work fine with a vertical taskbar, except one.
They tried to fix that issue completely, but it looks like the nature of the
original coding was such that they missed on particular dialog.
