We use Avast! Professional 6 in our office. Several computers have no internet access, so we manually start vpsupd.exe which we put regularily on our file server. We use 6.0.1376 and try vpsupd.exe from 01/01/2012 and 01/02/2012. License is valid until 2014.
Since today we only get an error message “avast.setup - error in application” when we start vpsupd.exe. No update is made.
Please fix this in time!
They have already acknowledged that the offline update has a problem.
They’re working on it.
Makes one wonder why they keep posting new vpsupd.exe update files, especially when they know that they are faulty. :
Almost looks like someone has their head buried in a gopher hole. :o
More like watching the chimps at the zoo throwing crap at the wall and watching what sticks and what runs down. 
hope they will faster settle the problem as soon as possible.
Thank you.
The problem is already solved.
working vpsupd.exe is available for download again.
