12.5 update: GetAndInstallUpdates error


Recommended Posts

I downloaded the update from:

http://www.nemetschek.net/12.5/vwinfo.php

After updating the HASP driver as per:

http://techboard.nemetschek.net/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=0&Board=UBB12&Number=65515

I then ran the 12.5 updater, but got this message:

Error, There was an error in GetAndInstallUpdates.

And then this message:

Installation Failure, See... /Library/Application Support/Vectorworks/InstallerError.txt ...for details.

Which reads:

There was an error in GetAndInstallUpdates.

Exception Type: exceptions.UnboundLocalError

Exception Value: local variable 'zipObj' referenced before assignment

Exception Stack:

File "InstallerScript.pyc", line 1238, in GetAndInstallUpdates

File "InstallerScript.pyc", line 826, in OpenZipFile

Possibly of note is that my initial download stalled and I had to restart it, so I'm downloading the updater file again.

I have recieved the same error text:

Exception Type: exceptions.UnboundLocalError

Exception Value: local variable 'zipObj' referenced before assignment

Exception Stack:

File "InstallerScript.pyc", line 1238, in GetAndInstallUpdates

Tried to start download a second time and recieved the same error.

Same error here on OS X 10.4.7, installing over 12.0.1... had an uninterrupted download so I doubt that's it.

Little Snitch (http://www.obdev.at/products/littlesnitch) says:

"ExtractFiles wants to connect to nemetschek.net on TCP port 80 (http)"

"ExtractFiles wants to connect to exchange.nemetschek.net on TCP port 25 (smtp)"

Seems a bit weird to me that the installer wants to connect to a mail server, but what do I know... Opening up port 25 on my end makes no difference, still get the same error.

Doh... spoke too soon. The installer made it further into the process, but failed again with the following error:

There was an error in GetAndInstallUpdates.

Exception Type: exceptions.UnboundLocalError

Exception Value: local variable 'zipObj' referenced before assignment

Exception Stack:

File "InstallerScript.pyc", line 1238, in GetAndInstallUpdates

After downloading the updater again it worked for me, and I didn't turn my firewall off, plus I still had other applications running.

We have been having problems with our internet connection so it's possible we didn't have a connection the first time I tried.

Hopefully turning off your firewall will work for those of you still having a problem. Or maybe NNA have reconfigured things at their end?

Judging by my experience I suggest you download the updater again if you still have a problem.
