MAU still didn't work

Split from this thread from months ago

Well it's now October, and 16.30 just arrived. The MAU still didn't work. I noticed that it's now combined with the update so didn't try to download the updated first this time. But symptoms are all the same - the updater recognized that I needed all applications and told me to install 16.30 and when I saw the progress bar, each package showed download progress but the overall download progress kept resetting each time to zero and the package didn't finish saving on my Mac. At the end I got the telltale message "One or more packages..." 

This is the problem that Microsoft doesn't want to fix because they don't have enough people reporting it or saying they have the problem. 

So I'm a 365 subscriber who pays money to have what Microsoft described as the package I was purchasing and they're not going to provide it.

I guess this is what happens when integrity is an option left up to the workers and not the leaders.

    Catalina 10.15

    But this has been going on for some time LONG before the new version.

    Alex,

    You realize that we have seen this article before, and in my case, it doesn't work.

    I appreciate the help and support but relying on the same response isn't a solution.

    Thanks

    Kent

    I had checked the Apple Root CA certificate setting long ago and found this was not my solution/issue. It certainly appears to be one cause. I hope that Steve can update his MAU to 4.16 and check the StandAloneUpdaterDaemon to see if it's running. As I'm already updated on 4.16 and 16.30 I'm no help.

    PS - I'm still running Mojave 10.14.6 - Steve is on Catalina so we're looking at potentially two different setups.

    Hi Alex and everyone else.

    I downloaded MAU 4.16 and ran via MS Word and got the same error albeit in a new looking MAU interface.

    I have attached screenshots showing the running processes after starting MAU and then after trying to update (the date timestamps are out of sequence as I re-did update to get the before image)

    Thanks

    Steve

    Thanks for trying this.

    So have they done away with the progress bars on downloads? I don't see those. In the past versions of MAU they had progress bars and if you watched carefully you could see the problem because the overall progress would reset after each individual package download. On a good update, the overall progress bar would continue to build as each package downloaded successfully. This visual confirmation tells us that each individual package (word, excel, etc.) was not saving successfully after the download.
