    At first,I am grateful for the hard work with the new RC release.However,I might run into a bug with the update. When I performed check status,it showed that there were 4 components in need of update.Then I click update icon to carry out the update,a bad things happened---the update prompt window kept searching for the updates file without any progress of download.With suspicion,I checked out the update log:
    SDUpdate.exe [2012-10-26 21:54:34] Includes\AdvWhite.sbs is missing and will be installed on next update.
    SDUpdate.exe [2012-10-26 21:54:34] Includes\CLSIDs.sbs (version 20070723) needs to be updated.
    SDUpdate.exe [2012-10-26 21:54:35] Includes\Tracks.sbi is missing and will be installed on next update.
    SDUpdate.exe [2012-10-26 21:54:35] Includes\Tracks.uti (version 20050217) needs to be updated.

    I'm seeing the same as super0zero. This is when using Spybot as a user and administrator.

    In addition, the update just kept running, and the only way to close the window was to end the task in Task Manager.

    Running the update from the command line, i.e. SDUpdate.exe /autoupdate just runs the check for new signatures, but doesn't actually update anything. This means that a scheduled update won't do anything.

    YES,the update window is frozen and the only way to close it is to bring up Task Manager

    no, 2 of the includes files are invalid (still) and dont get updated, because the update-windows is getting frozen and u need to exit it with task-manager!
