PTB update error

1
Hi,

I tried running a PTB update on my Windows computer only to find that it fails and returns this error message:
About to update your working copy of the OpenGL-based Psychtoolbox.
Will execute the following update command:

svn update "C:\toolbox\Psychtoolbox"
svn: Can't copy 'C:\toolbox\Psychtoolbox\PsychContributed\.svn\text-base\nc.exe.svn-base' to 'C:\toolbox\Psychtoolbox\PsychContributed\.svn\tmp\nc.exe.tmp.tmp': The system cannot find the file specified.
Sorry. The update command failed:
svn: Can't copy 'C:\toolbox\Psychtoolbox\PsychContributed\.svn\text-base\nc.exe.svn-base' to 'C:\toolbox\Psychtoolbox\PsychContributed\.svn\tmp\nc.exe.tmp.tmp': The system cannot find the file specified.

??? Error using ==> UpdatePsychtoolbox
Update failed.


Do I need to obtain those files that are being referred to as being in the PsychContributed folder in the Psychtoolbox? If so, how do I obtain them?

Thanks for any help!

Beautiful.

1. Just delete your Psychtoolbox folder and download a new copy via the DownloadPsychtoolbox function (the latest from the Wiki).

2. Throw away your braindead virus scanner and ask the vendor for a refund.

nc.exe was probably misclassified by the virus scanner as a virus, put into quarantine and now the .svn folder inside your ptb installation is damaged, which causes this failure.

Current ptb doesn't have nc.exe anymore, we found a workaround -> It won't happen again, because we waste our time fixing other commercial vendors !@#$@#@# problems.
