[DUG] Delphi XE update 1 fails

[John Bird]

?Cannot see how this is Embarcaderos fault.

I have seen Mail Marshall refuse an attachment with a .ZIP extension.   I 
then sent the ZIP file with a .DAT extension which also got blocked.   I had 
assumed a .DAT was the most general and innocuous and least blocked 
extension until then (as it generally has no programs associated with it) 
The firm in the end got a network technician to bring the update on a USB 
drive.   Of course that cost them money.

These firewalls/spam filters etc are nuts when they provide the owner with 
no way to let through an update they actually do want to get.

Hi

We're trying to install this update from behind a corporate firewall, and
our web sanitiser (Web Marshall) cannot open the downloaded 7zip files for
checking.  So no update happening here.

When is EMB going to come up with something that works for a change ?
