Dear All,

This is my first posting to this list. I hope this is the correct one to
report a fatal update error which just occurred.

The complete today's log below. I checked that miktex-tie.exe does not exist
in "C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.9\miktex\bin\x64", however tie.exe (dated Oct
29, 2016) does exist in this folder.

Happy to provide any more information or please point me to the list or bug
tracker where this should be reported instead.

Many thanks!
J.

Dear All,
This is my first posting to this list. I hope this is the correct one to
report a fatal update error which just occurred.

I had no problems with the last update. But I have a 32bit miktex
and also only a single user installation.

Check at first if everything is really up-to-date:

Run the package managers (admin + user) and synchronize their
package list (menu repositories). Then check if they show some new
packages that you don't have installed but could be relevant and
install them.

Then run the update managers (admin + user) again.

If the problem persists make a bug report:

I had problems to update three days ago. What I do is to choose a server. I
suposse that the install programs actualize the list of updated servers.
That solved my problem.

Many thanks for your advice. This morning the update run like a charm. I changed the server (however I am not sure if this made a difference). But now I am golden again.

Many thanks again for your prompt replies,
J.
