I try “old” links - SOA updated to new version (1.3.3.89). Than I will try now to update my client.

Ok, my client PC (win10) with EPSP was updated to new version from console (from settings beta not find new version), version EPSP have #8.0.1606

People with bug of not updated VDB on WinXP, please write here - do you have this bug after update to new release or no?

Thanks for (after a sooooooooo long wait) update.

But first “Houston, WE still have a problem”: When I try to update a SOA console under the console “About” ->“Update” tab it says “Your program is up to date”…SO now I try to downoad and update manually… ??? I hope that works :wink:

SOA update is not working directly from console, download standalone installer and try again (please run a backup job before).

The “non-plus-ultra” in the story: the new SOA required the latest Silverlight plug-in, BUT the “Click here to download the latest version of Silverlight” link points to an older version… so everyone with the same issue go and download Silverlight plug-in from the Microsoft’s Silverlight site… ::slight_smile:

BTW… Standalone SOA installer works flawless…

Great news, we’re hoping so.

But yes for silverlight installations you can do the following for chrome.

How to Enable NPAPI plugins (Silverlight) - Windows only

  1. Open Chrome and browse to chrome://flags/#enable-npapi

  2. Click the Enable NPAPI setting.

  3. After that, click “Relaunch Now” at the bottom of your Chrome window. Note: Closing and reopening Chrome is not sufficient, you must click the “Relaunch Now” button.

  4. Once Chrome relaunches, verify Silverlight is installed by browsing to http://www.microsoft.com/getsilverlight/Get-Started/Install/Default.aspx

  5. If you see the below message, browse back out to Panopto and continue as normal

  6. If you see the below message, Silverlight is not currently installed. Please click the “Click to Install” button to install Silverlight.

This should resolve your issue but if not please let me know.

@Che Johnson
Your post for Chrome will not work for *64 Chrome, as I know - all x64 browsers not work with Silverlight

But I will check now this, and say - works or no

chrome://flags/#enable-npapi - I not see exactly npapi “enable” in opened page-list of experimental features.

Yes, npapi not in list, because
NPAPI support will be completely removed from Chrome. We expect this to happen before the end of 2014. – (Google Chrome team)
This means by end of this year Silverlight will stop functioning in the Chrome browser, which represents roughly a 45% audience based on June 2014 browser statistics.

Go test !!!
Congratulations Avast :o :cry:

Do not updating EAE.

add\remove program\AEA\Update\Check for Update – System can not find such path

c:\install\setup_enterprise_eps.exe → update → next – There was an error for changing product configuration

Fact is Silverlight will died like Flash in the near future, with all security bugs, that is the cause why Chrome, FF and all others kicked it out, and the workaround help but it not the right way for the future, Avast !

“Microsoft announced that the upcoming Edge browser, available in Windows 10, will not support Silverlight for video playback. Originally developed by Microsoft as an alternative to Adobe Flash, development around Silverlight was focused on streaming media, but became obsolete over time as support for a more universal standard in HTML5 was being developed. Microsoft actively stopped developing Silverlight in 2013 and competing browsers, like Google Chrome, are ending support for Silverlight.”

Hi, I can’t run the latest SOA on Windows 2003 Server. It complains that Silverlight is out of date, but it’s running the latest version available for XP/2003 which is 5.1.40416.0. There is a later version 5.1.41105.0, but appears to be for Windows 7/2008 Server and later.

Any way to bypass the check for the latest version?

First thank you for the release for Windows 10

Second, the firewall refuses to install. Have tried on multiple machines and its a no go.

I have ran uninstall/change from control panel to manually add the firewall and its a no go also. States “The Avast! Firewall driver couldn’t be installed. The installation will proceed without the avast! firewall component.”

The firewall is enabled on the AEA.

Anyone ideas as to what may be wrong… Client is Windows 10 Pro

Try to restart PC 2-3 time (I’m serious), and than firewall will start. Not forget to disable Windows firewall.

I’m using Avast EPS with Enterprise Administration Console and have 600 users. Around 400 users are located at the remote site with connected by private network. I can update VPS for the remote client normally, but it can’t be update the program since they don’t have Internet access. It’s a problem why the program update through the Internet instead of our EAS server. Please help and thanks in advance.

Hi, Firewall won’t start even after multiple reboot. >:(
