Hi,
That's why the enhanced version of your script (which properly
supports Sniffer's ability to keep the rulebase and the workspace in
subfolders!) that I sent you checks for CURL success AND for an
existing file.
curl http://www.sortmonster.net/Sniffer/Updates/%LICENSE_ID%.snf -s -R
-f -o %RULEBASE_PATH%\%LICENSE_ID%.new -z
%RULEBASE_PATH%\%LICENSE_ID%.snf --compressed -u sniffer:ki11sp8m -D
%SNIFFER_PATH%\curlhdr.txt
*if %ERRORLEVEL% NEQ 0 goto CLEANUP*
*if not exist %RULEBASE_PATH%\%LICENSE_ID%.new goto CLEANUP*
The newest version (just posted before I received this note) checks for
a new file from CURL. It also uses the -v (verbose) option with CURL and
captures it's output to the getRulebase.txt file for reporting. If there
is an error then the details will be seen.
curl -v "http://www.sortmonster.net/Sniffer/Updates/%LICENSE_ID%.snf"; -o
%LICENSE_ID%.new -s -S -R -z %LICENSE_ID%.snf -H "Accept-Encoding:gzip"
--compressed -u sniffer:ki11sp8m 2>> getRulebase.txt

I recommend you go to "Cleanup" -- where the .LCK file will be cleaned
up if it exists...
The new script does this and it also reports success explicitly
snf2check.exe %LICENSE_ID%.new %AUTHENTICATION% 2>> getRulebase.txt
if errorlevel 1 goto CLEANUP
echo New rulebase file tested OK >> getRulebase.txt
The script we are using does not yet support alternate/sub folders
because we have not built that capability into our windows installer.
Using alternate/sub folders is a custom modification and is likely to be
different on each system so we aren't (yet) making any attempt to have
our installer predict or understand this kind of configuration.
A later version of the script might include some hooks to do that but
they will need to be ignored by the installer for the time being.
Trying to keep things simple.
Thanks,
