Windows 7 x86 and Blink

lnicula — Tue, 28 Apr 2009 04:58:55 GMT

We have an update regarding Windows 7 x86 and Blink. We have been testing Windows 7 RC and Blink and noticed that it works a lot better than previous versions. The x64 bit version still has issues and so we do not recommend installing it on that edition yet.

Again, to install Blink on Windows 7 x86, run the installer with the NO_LAUNCH_CHECK=1 argument.

c:\.....\BlinkSetupConsumer.exe NO_LAUNCH_CHECK=1

Please let us know if and what kind of issues you are running into.

Thanks!

This release addresses these issues:

   - Fixed a Firewall issue causing traffic to be randomly denied
   - Fixed an issue causing the Fortigate SSL VPN to not connect when the Anti-virus engine was enabled
   - Fixed an issue where when reading email over IMAP, email folders would appear in uppercase and in duplicate

The attached registry file will need to be imported to make Blink re-download the update (required in order to get either a new Beta or the final release when available)

NOTE: If you used the Reset Configuration option in Blink Personal 4.1.4, it had the undesired side effect of disabling the System Firewall (with no visual indication that this has happened). To recover from this error and re-enable it, shut down Blink and run this command "C:\Program Files\eEye Digital Security\Blink\blink.exe" /s. This command will re-enable the firewall and start Blink.

Beta releases

lnicula — Sat, 15 Nov 2008 16:00:58 GMT

For those who want to receive updates before they are released to the public, there is now a way to get them.

All you need to do is change the Update URL in SyncIt (Tools | Check for Updates | Configure) to https://update02.eeye.com/UpdateServerBeta/ (see the attached screenshot)

NOTE: Do not forget the backslash at the end, the update will fail if not present.

If you decide to try Beta updates, please keep in mind that if you run into issues you may need to uninstall and reinstall the latest released version from here.

Another thing to keep in mind is that regular AntiVirus and signature updates are not published in this location and after downloading the update you will need to revert the URL back to https://update02.eeye.com/UpdateServer/ to continue to receive daily signature updates.

Finally, to update to new betas or to the final version you will need to apply a registry patch and change the Syncit URL to the proper location (The Beta URL for betas and the default URL for the final release). This patch file will be uploaded in the post announcing the Beta release.
