#2548 SSL connect error

[Gabriele Garuglieri]

The version of the Update Wizard now in the repository is no longer able to connect to repositories and fails with the following message (the example is for 64 bits, but the 32 bits behaves the same):

INFO  Update - starting: Update Wizard (MiKTeX 2.9.6100 64-bit)
INFO  FileCopyPage - 
INFO  FileCopyPage - Error: SSL connect error

For the history of the problem prese refer to
http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/339105/miktex-update-wizard-cannot-connect-after-installing-november-package-refactori

The installers have been repackaged today, but launching the wizard after installing either basic-miktex-2.9.6161-x64.exe or basic-miktex-2.9.6161.exe will fail with the above messages.

Trying to install either with setup-2.9.6100-x64.exe or setup-2.9.6100.exe will fail at the very beginning with SSL connect error as soon as the installer tries to download the mirrors list.

The SSL issues have been resolved for Windows 7 (and later) systems. Windows XP does not support the SSL certificate at the moment. So for Windows XP, this workaround is still necessary:

set MIKTEX_MPM_REMOTESERVICE6210=multiplexor

Please note that the evironment variable name has changed.

can confirm, this solution works on Windows XP

I am closing the ticket because the orginal bug has been resolved. If you still get an SSL error, then please open a new ticket and attach the DebugView trace. But only if you are using Windows 7 (or later).
