NI-Update: no connection to the internet since 115 Years!!!

[RoterStern]

I have just received the following message (I have the German version of NI-Update), saying NI-Update hasn't had an internet connection since 42023 days (or 115 years). I'm not sure if the message is entirely correct: I can still remember how about 70 years ago, after replacing some valve amps I also launched NI-Update. And I'm really afraid now, that all the updates for the past 115 years are going to be downloaded and installed at once.

Does anybody know if there is a way around this? Can I install the missing updates with at least 20 years interval?

Have you changed the system clock / checked it's showing the correct time? It might be the clock was wrong either when you first did the update check or now and so it's calculating the wrong difference.

[RoterStern]

Well, the system clock hasn't been changed and shows the correct time.

I guess that the program has never managed an internet connection and defaults to Timedates starting time, 1904? Some systems use 1900 as starting time, which fits the number you're seeing.

This has been resolved in newer versions of the update software.
