Definition Update Error

I am trying to run the definition update GUI and it will not allow me to.  It is giving me an error message - "Definitions already being updated.  Started at 8/25/2008."  I have attached a copy of the screenshot.

 

Does anyone know what causes this or how to stop it from updating if it is in fact running?

 

Thank you.

Re: Definition Update Error

You usually get that message when Vaminer is already running.

 

Open Task Manager and kill the Vaminer.exe process, then try to update again.

Re: Definition Update Error

Vaminer.exe is not listed within Task Manager.  It does not appear to be running.

Re: Definition Update Error

Are you running the console on the core or remotely?

I have tried both on the core and remotely from my system.

Re: Definition Update Error

So I'm assuming you are running the updates via the console GUI | Update Now. Vaminer does not run to do this update and It is done by console.exe. So take a look at your Console.exe.log and see if that helps you or post it here. Also have you tried restarting the console?

Re: Definition Update Error

Are you accessing the core via terminal services? Is this process running under another session?

 

Consider a reboot of your server if there are no other console sessions running to make sure everything is cleared down.
