I've been trying to use the null patch to call a .bat file that I have used successfully in the past, but the deployment fails. I then tried to use it just to remove the scheduler, which had also been set up previously and was working. Neither operation will work. Following are the errors I receive:
Error: File not downloaded: nullpatch.exe
Error reason: The remote server returned an error: (404) Not Found.: http://xml.shavlik.com/noop.exe
Zero patches are available and properly signed.
No patches were deployed. Please review the program logs to determine the cause.
Patch deployment canceled due to failure building deployment instructions.
Error on machine 'mypc': Failed
I don't use this often, so I may well be missing something stupid, but as I've used two previously successful deployment templates, I am confident that they are ok. Thanks, in advance, for any thoughts!
