Hi,
That's why the enhanced version of your script (which properly supports Sniffer's ability to keep the rulebase and the workspace in subfolders!) that I sent you checks for CURL success AND for an existing file. curl http://www.sortmonster.net/Sniffer/Updates/%LICENSE_ID%.snf -s -R -f -o %RULEBASE_PATH%\%LICENSE_ID%.new -z %RULEBASE_PATH%\%LICENSE_ID%.snf --compressed -u sniffer:ki11sp8m -D %SNIFFER_PATH%\curlhdr.txt if %ERRORLEVEL% NEQ 0 goto CLEANUP if not exist %RULEBASE_PATH%\%LICENSE_ID%.new goto CLEANUP snf2check.exe %RULEBASE_PATH%\%LICENSE_ID%.new %AUTHENTICATION% >> goto DONE<< I recommend you go to "Cleanup" - where the .LCK file will be cleaned up if it exists.

CURL will refuse to download the file and then snf2check produces an ERROR_RULE_FILE! error because it cannot find the new rulebase file it is looking for. We are reworking the script to include line to test for this and exit the script instead of producing the error. You can add the following line just before the snf2check.exe line: if not exist %LICENSE_ID%.new goto DONE In this case the ERROR_RULE_FILE error itself is harmless. _M
