Software Install
I am testing the software; I have set up an install to install the windowsdefender.msi on a both per computer and per user basis. The file is in the Inventory. I get an error which says "This installation package could not be opened. Verify that the package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer package." Is there a reason why it would not install the windowsdefender.msi or is there something wrong with my set up? Thanks

Bloated memory usage. It appears there is a serious memory leak within the application. Just doing simple things such as setting up scheduled patch configurations causes the java.exe runtime to exceed 207MB of memory usage. This is terrible as many large scale e-commerce applications don't even need this much memory and considering this is a simple website it's even worse. Bryan N. Dent

We are having issues with updates being sent to the machines and run and after performing the update, the machine still reports that the update is missing. This has been tested several times and has failed every time. The update we are currently having an issue with is Patch ID: 90092 PatchName : WindowsXP-KB920872-x86-ENU.exe Is this normal to have all the problems we are having with this tool? It almost seems easier to just install the updates ourselves without the use of this tool. Bryan Dent

Random Reboots ---- In the middle of the "Download In Progress" status for deploying patches, the DesktopCentralServer just reboots itself for no reason. This has happened at least 3-4 times today. We need resolution on this problem in order to continue use of the product. Bryan Dent
No Response
It has been nearly two weeks since I spoke to someone that was supposed to have an engineer call me to discuss a large amount of issues we are experiencing with your software. No one has bothered to call or send an E-mail to provide an update as to when this is going to take place. I would expect that by the end of the week if we do not have some closure on these issues we will be requesting a full refund for the money invested in this tool that does not seem to be helping us out at all right now.
64-bit Support
It appears that the latest release of desktop central still does not support 64-bit machines. When is this going to be supported. 64-bit machines are slowly being more widely used. Without this support soon, this tool will be useless within our organization. Bryan Dent
