LM.Detection_x64.exe fails after release of VisualStudio-Patches

Hi all,  

all of a sudden ZPM doesn't work anymore : Detection stopped working yesterday, after applying the DAU yesterday every client fails during lm.detection.

A "debug scan" gives some more information, of course it's just the very last part of the (temporary) lmdetection.log:

Any thoughts?

    You could check debug zmd-messsages.log file and also here's what's needed for debug lm.dectection.log file:

    1.        Go to "Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Patchlink.com" in
    the registry.


    Rename the "cache" folder/key there to something else like "cache1" or
    "cache2"



    2.       delete the following before running the command below:

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Novell\ZENworks\zpm\Cache\lm.detection.cache

    (If present)




    3.       open up command prompt as run as admin ‑> CD over to



    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Novell\ZENworks\zpm\" and run
    "LM.Detection_x64.exe /ErrorStdOut /registry /loglevel 4 /d 0 /e temp"

    (this could take a while to run and complete)



    Collect C:\Program Files (x86)\Novell\ZENworks\zpm\lm.detection.log
    *This file should be over 90-100MB

    Thx: I already did the steps before , the part of what I called "debug log" was taken from the log - lmdetection didn't finish (so the log had like 10MB only), caused by a problem within the data (download):

    I created a SR on Friday and the problem was solved at hosting/provider-site (from hat I heard they removed the bad entry that caused the bad behaviour). Client turned back to work well on Saturday ;)
