Stata 18 update failure

[Dario Maimone Ansaldo Patti]

Hi,

I bought my copy of Stata 18 MP4. When I try to update it, I receive the following error message:

I tried using different networks but the result is still the same. If I try to update old Stata version, it goes through.

Any idea how to solve this issue?

Thanks in advace,

Dario

I had this problem too. In essence, it appears that there is a small bug or misfeature which (among other things) the update will correct.

Until you've managed to update see https://www.stata.com/support/faqs/w...rror-messages/ and set timeout1 to a larger value until it works.

Nick Cox Thanks Nick. I set timeout1 1000 and it seems to work.

You'll want to use

set timeout1 1000, perm

. The current update doesn't have the fix for the timeout issue yet so it'll take one more update for the timeout issue to be fixed.
