Upgraded from 3.0.566 without *much* problems, but mine did come up with a funny non-english message right in the middle of the upgrade. Yes, I download the english version. :p
So the new version is working well. Good job ESET.

Seems as if they haven't updated the trial links yet, I logged in and downloaded it and turned out to be the advertised build.

I have the same issue.

Weird, try now.

Sometimes they take some time to update the files, but then why they updated both version to the main' pages?

#3 b.tarek.aziz on 22 Dec 2007 - 01:51

Hello,

I just looked at Support News section of the ESET web site here and noticed it said the version numbers would be shortly updated on their web site.

Odd, I downloaded the NOD32 MSI and installed it over the top of my current install. Everything seemed ok apart from when I hover over the system tray icon it still says 3.0.566.0?

#6.1 Vettetech on 22 Dec 2007 - 15:02

You should always uninstall first.

#6.2 ]SK[ on 22 Dec 2007 - 15:08

It seemed to uninstall for me during the install.

#7 Linkin Park on 22 Dec 2007 - 07:52

^^ The paid version that requires a login is the correct build, but the trial links don't seem to be updated yet.

Anyone have problems with the UI switching to Polish I think it is when it says there are apps running that need to be closed? Mine says it needs to close Eset Service and Windows Explorer, clicking on "Automaticky zatvorit aplikacie a restartovat ich po ukonceni instalacie" Which i assume means Automatically close the apps and restart the install process?

Clicking OK I get english again saying it is unable to close the requested apps. and to ensure that all apps are closed before continuing with install, which I obviously can't

Any ideas?

[edit]
Just noticed 1Frothy had a similar issue in post 1, anyone else getting the same but unable to proceed as it hasnt closed all the apps down that it needs?

You're not the only one and there is this on the Wilders Forums. So expect a 3.0.622 really soon

Great bit of software, the guys at Computer Juice recommended it.
