Force update failed... need some help!!

Post by mgro »

I tried to use ECtune, got \"lock system\" message. Tried force update, get error \"Webupdate failed with error: The request failed with HTTP status 417: Expectation failed...\" This used to work before. I tried the following: - disabled my anti-virus (Avira) - made sure Windows Firewall is not on - disabled firewall in ADSL modem - tried two different network switches (one wireless, the other wired) - Clean install of ECtune System is a laptop running XP Pro. What am I missing here?? thanks, Mark

I found the problem and a solution. Maybe someone else can benefit. Apparently HTTP 417 error can be caused when a proxy server blocks communication. I do not know why this happens now, and not before. Anyway, here is the fix. ECtune uses .NET framework to do webupdate. The secret is to bypass the offending proxy server. You can do this by editing the \"machine.config\" file in the .NET directory. If you have multiple .NET versions on your machine (I had 4), I found that version 3.5 still uses the machine.config from version 2 for some reason. So thats the one I edited. Path looks something like

Code: Select all

x&#58;\\<windows>\\Microsoft.NET\\Framework\\<version>\\config\\machine.config
You'll need to make changes to the system.net section. If you don't have that section (like I did), please add the following code:

Code: Select all

<system.net>            <defaultProxy>                <!--                   The following entry enables reading of the per user &#40;LAN&#41; Internet settings.                  Adding additional proxy settings, without first setting to \"false\",                  will individually override. Note that \"Automatic configuration\" and                   \"automatic configuration scripts\" cannot be read.                                    <proxy> settings&#58;                      usesystemdefault=\"&#91;true|false&#93;\" - Read settings from Internet Options &#40;see above&#41;                      proxyaddress=\"&#91;string&#93;\" - A Uri string of the proxy server to use.                      bypassonlocal=\"&#91;true|false&#93;\" - Enables bypassing of the proxy for local resources.               -->                <proxy                   usesystemdefault=\"false\"               />                <!-- use this section to disable proxy use for matching servers                  example&#58;              <bypasslist>                  <add address=\"bypassRegexString\" />              </bypasslist>               -->                                   <!-- use this section to override proxy settings with your own IWebProxy implementation                  example&#58;              <module                  type=\"System.Net.WebProxy, System, Version=1.0.5000.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089\"               />               -->                               </defaultProxy>      </system.net>
I put this code right behind the </configSections> tag. If you already have a <system.net> section, you only have to change this

Code: Select all

<proxy                   usesystemdefault=\"true\"               />
into

Code: Select all

<proxy                   usesystemdefault=\"false\"               />
Now it started raining, so I guess I won't get my hands dirty today...feel more like a programmer then a gearhed. -sigh-
