The article is solution for Error 76567 when you try to install McAfee software using Installer 1 on Windows Vista or Windows 7. The final step before proceeding with the download & installation is download McUpdFix.zip file. When the "McUpdFix" folder is extracted from the zip the contents of the folder indicates that a batch file should be run as an administrator contrary to the instruction in the article. The batch file is as follows:
____________________________________________________________
@echo off
REM Run this command as administrator to update VTP certificate store
echo Start updating certificates...
cd CertUpdate_2016
McCertUpd.exe /path "%CD%"
if %errorlevel% neq 0 (
echo Failed!
exit /b
)
echo Updating certificates part 2...
cd ..
McCertUpd.exe /path "%CD%"
if %errorlevel% neq 0 (
echo Failed!
exit /b
)
echo Done
___________________________________________________
As it stands this batch file will fail since the default directory for a batch file run as an administrator is "C:\WINDOWS\system32". To fix this the first command following the line "echo Start updating certificates...", should be cd /d "%~dp0" in order to set the current directory to the location of the batch file. Also note /d parameter is essential for the change directory command to work and the quotes surrounding the drive letter and path %~dp0 accommodate any space found in the path name!
This should be fixed, I wasted a lot of time understanding and finally resolving this issue since I'm not expert in batch file knowledge, others also, might not be able to easily figure it out!
Thanks for sharing your feed back and observation for article TS102964. We will look into this and update the batch file with necessary changes.
Your welcome & don't forget the instructions in the in the article 😁...
