i have downloaded this files severe times today,
http://download832.avast.com/iavs5x/vpsupd.exe
but always received a error code,
can’t install VPS update,
ver:5.0.462
SI:0x00000005
ST:0x00000003
LE:0x0000000.
and than i tried to open it with 7 zip, and test the file, see there!
file damaged, .rsrc\AVI\129 error
can you provide a hash number for the files on the download page?
Windows file system Error 5 = Access is denied.
I believe you may be bumping into the self-defence module and it blocking the modification of avast files by what is an outside process. From the avast Settings, Troubleshooting section and disable the Self-defence module and then run the vpsupd.exe again. Ensure that you enable the self-defence again.
I think it pointless to try and open what appears to be an unsupported archive with 7zip it will always fail.
disable the self-defence module doesn’t help. i boot in to safe mode also doesn’t help, still the same error code in safe mode.
And autoupdate doesn’t work too, may be because i live in china, may be your auto update serve is blocked in china.
the HASH of the file i downloaded :(i hope i downloaded the right file)
MD5:

Well since avast doesn’t run in safe mode so there would appear to be something wrong with the process of updating using the vpsupd.exe file.
I can’t check the hash numbers as I’m on dial-up and can’t download the vpsupd.exe file as it would take over 2 hours.
What errors are you getting when you use the update process from the avast UI, Maintenance, Update ?
Are you using a proxy to connect to the internet ?
