EES 10.0.2045.0 - guerilla prerelease version?

[zhladik 0]

I got an automatic program update from 10.0.2034.0 to 10.0.2045.0 (I found that I configured the prerelease version update channel). But - after installation, it shows the link to the info page with old release notes of 10.0.2034.0. And nowhere on the web and this forum is info about this release. I think pushing any version without info is very bad idea, even for prerelease channel versions. Please push developers to publish pre-release info BEFORE enabling installation next time and post actual version info here...

Even on testing PC is nice to know what changed and what to check for .

Bad feelings is magnified by the publish date collision with MS patch Tuesday.., I was afraid of the quick hotfix of MS compatibility problems.

Are the GUI crashes also fixed?

[Marcos 5,074]

Unfortunately I have no clue what GUI crashes you are referring to. Should gui crash, please provide an application crash dump from the crash.

Thank you for quick answer. Yet one question: Can you please publish URL for downloading of this version installation package? May be also other older version download possibilities will be usable.

[Marcos 5,074]

The installers will be published on the date of release, they are not available in repositories yet.

These older installers are available via ESET PROTECT when creating an installer:

Thanks for info.

I looked for proper ulr's for on filed download and BTW I discovered the existence of a Full Package (4x bigger than normal one - nt64_full.msi  vs nt64.msi).  

This can be usable on an infected PC disconnected from the Internet (?)

Script for download on field on customer site with wget:

This is possible, however, the engine and other modules will be outdated at the time you download the installer so update from the Internet will be needed anyways in order to detect latest threats. I'd suggest isolating the infected PC from other machines in LAN, updating the modules and running a full disk scan. If there is sensitive data on the machine, turn off the machine immediately until you are ready to boot from a clean medium (e.g. ESET SysRescue) and run a full disk scan to clean the malware first. Remember to regularly back up important data so that you could restore files in case of damage (e.g. encryption) or data loss.
