Update Retriever cannot retrieve because of missing files

Hello,
I'm working a while now with Update Retriever to ease deployment of about 40 ThinkPads and a few ThinkStations. The bugs already found and documented in this forum can be worked around mostly - sometimes you have to redownload the whole repository.
But there are some updates the UR fails to retrieve and it won't ever retrieve them properly because files are referenced but missing on Lenovo's servers.
What hurts us most at the moment is that we cannot roll out new Access Connection 5.12 for Vista, because the file 7vcv85wj.txt is missing and UR won't continue without it. With 5.02 being severely broken on Vista this means we may have bet on the wrong horse with TVSU and UR for getting TV-Software on our Lenovos.
Does anybody know how to get UR to work with Lenovo's repositories? If not - is there an alternative to UR short of letting all our Thinkpads download directly over the Internet (which also hurts me, because the content - transferred via SSL is not cacheable)
Update: Forgot that - Maybe there is a channel to report such errors - but I didn't find a clue on Lenovo's support site.

it's becoming more and it's becoming annoying.
Here's more failed packages: * Conexant Audio Features II
    name="AUDIOC_WXP" version="3.54.0.51"
       https://download.boulder.ibm.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles/7wa109ww.txt
       https://download.boulder.ibm.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles/7wa109wj.txt
     * interestingly these files were already downloaded - nonetheless UR fails to import with error 404
(Update 2009-02-19: the broken package count went down to 1 for me - that's better)

  • Itunes cannot run because some required files are missing...vista 64 bit OS

    I'm running on a Vista 64 bit HP computer, and I have been trying to download itunes for the past couple days and all it says is Itunes cannot run because some required files are missing please reinstall itunes...I have no idea what to do...i have looked around the forums for information and I guess I'm not the only one having issues using a 64 bit OS. Btw the 64 bit Itunes won't work either. It does the same exact thing...

    all it says is Itunes cannot run because some required files are missing please reinstall itunes
    I'd like to check for malware with that message, Nico. (With modern versions of iTunes, if files really were missing, iTunes would be much more likely to do a repair install of itself when you wen't to launch it, rather than returning the old-fashioned files-are-missing message.
    Download and install the free version of MalwareBytes AntiMalware. Update your MBAM definitions and run a full scan of the PC. (Takes about 2 hours on My Lenovo.)

    After the scan completes, find the log file for the scan, and paste the contents of the log into a reply here.

  • My Photoshop Elements does not start any more. It gives response "Photoshop elements cannot start or continue because of missing file(s). Please reinstall." How do I get the installing file again (I bought it via internet the first time december 2013?)

    My Photoshop Elements does not start any more. It gives response "Photoshop elements cannot start or continue because of missing file(s). Please reinstall." How do I get the installing file again (I bought it from Adobe via internet the first time december 2013?)

    Did you download the Basic/Free version?
    I also thought the Trial period was as long as you needed!?
    What is your Warranty and Return Policy?
    You get to use VueScan for as long as you want before you buy it, so we recommend you test it before you buy it to make sure it meets your needs.
    All sales are final and there are no refunds.
    Isn't this a bit harsh? Naah I actually prefer to solve problems, and if I offer refunds, people give up too easily. If I can't solve your problem after you send a few Problem Reports (see above), I'm happy to give a refund.

  • I'm unable to uninstall or reinstall itunes because of missing files.

    I've been having trouble for about three months with installing updates and I had the last straw today so i decided to uninstall and reinstall itunes. I went to the control panel, but it wouldn't let me uninstall because of missing files. I've tried deleting the files manually and that hadn't worked either.

    Hello adniltrawets
    If you are having issues with iTunes starting up, check out the article below to troubleshoot and isolate the issue. It will walk you through starting up in Safe Mode as well as testing in a new user to see if it does not the same thing there.

  • MOVED: Windows cannot boot because of missing/corrupt hal.dll! Help!

    This topic has been moved to Operating Systems.
    Windows cannot boot because of missing/corrupt hal.dll! Help!

    Hi,
    make sure you have disconnected all non-essential external devices (printers, scanners, external harddisk) prior to installing BootCamp Windows.
    Leave only mouse, keyboard and display connected.
    Make sure that your XP CD is either retail or OEM/systemBuilder version and not a manufacturer-bundled one.
    Also make sure that the CD is 'clean' (no dust, no scratches, etc.).
    Use the BootCamp Assistant to revert back to one single OSX volume.
    Use OSX Disk Utility to Verify your harddisk and repair permissions.
    Retry the XP installation from scratch.
    Generally using NTFS is more likely to not getting the 'missing hal.dll' error.

  • Satellite M70-360: CEekey.eke cannot run because its missing the dll

    I accidentally removed the ekecioctl.dll and now everytime I start my laptop (Satellite M70-360) I get an error message saying that de CEekey.eke cannot run because its missing the dll. Does anyone know where can I download the dll?
    Thanks

    Hi
    The CEekey.exe seems to be a part of the Toshiba E-key utility.
    Therefore you should try to reinstall this Utility to get the keys working again.
    Another hint; did you try to restore the OS to the early time point?
    The XP supports an system restore tool. You can easily set the OS to a early point and the E-key should work again hopefully ;)

    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
    /var/db/receipts/
    2c: on 10.7 they're at
    /private/var/db/receipts
    A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
    If you purchased it on the App Store you can find it in your Purchases List.

  • Tools/Photoshop/Batch no longer available after updating Bridge. Is there a missing file?

    I have just updated all my cc apps, Photoshop, Bridge etc. Being able to batch process files from Bridge is no longer a visible option. Can anyone advise about possible missing files that might enable this?

    Same problem here:
    Bridge batch problem after Photoshop cc 2014 update
    I recently updated all my adobe cc products to the 2014 version. The previous cc version is still on my pc (Windows 7 professional)
    I’ve come across 2 problems since that update:
    All the actions I’ve made in the regular cc version are gone in de updated version. I tried to recover the actions by clicking load actions in the actions panel, and then went searching for them in the actions folder (…\Adobe Photoshop CC\Presets\Actions) of the cc version, but photoshop cc 2014 apparently couldn’t find a compatible file. So, is there a way to import those actions to the cc 2014 version or do I have to remake all those actions?
    I’ve made a new action in Photoshop cc 2014 and tried to batch several images with that action in Bridge. When the cc 2014 is open (or not) a message appears in that version of photoshop stating that photoshop cc is required for this command and that I should close this version and try again. When I open the photoshop cc version before I click on batch in Bridge nothing happens at all.
            Any solutions for this problem?

  • After installing itunes update I cannot open my itunes  music files.  How can I fix this problem?

    I installed the latest Itunes update and after installing I cannot open my ITunes music files.  How do I fix this problem. 

    Hey Joey BOD,
    It sounds like you can't open your Music app on your iPhone after the update? First, try force closing the Music app if it is open in multitasking, which you can find out how to do here:
    iOS: Force an app to close
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5137
    And if that doesn't work, I would reset the device:
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    via: iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
    And if that doesn't resolve the issue then I would backup the device to iTunes and restore it. Just be cautious and back up first, since restoring deletes all content and settings:

  • "Photoshop Elements [12] cannot start or continue because of missing files. Please reinstall."

    I uninstalled, then reinstalled the program (which was originally obtained via download, not CD), but it didn't help. Still get same error message.
    Contacted online tech support, they tried doing the same thing (under their control of the PC) but same thing happened. Instead of staying with me after that, they simply disconnected.
    What can I try next?
