Foxit Reader 6.1.2.1224 Check for Updates Does Not Complete

[jwq]

I'm seeing a problem after updating to Foxit Reader 6.1.2.1224 under Windows 7. Help -> 'Check for Updates Now' will open the Foxit Reader Updater dialog. The progress bar rapidly proceeds to about 2/3 but then the update stalls and the progress bar shows no further progress. Even after waiting 2 hours. This isn't a transient problem, I've seen it for at least the last week.

Now with Foxit Reader, you don't have to endure such pain any more. The following is a list of compelling advantages of Foxit Reader:

my advice would be to uninstall build 6.1.2.1224 and use an earlier version, like 6.0 or 5.4.5.. i also would advise you to never use foxit's updater..

have you noticed any other bugs in build 6.1.2.1224? try opening it, then closing it, then opening it again.. as far as i know, build 6.1.2.1224 does not close properly and, so, if you close it and then try to reopen it, it won't reopen.. again, the solution is to uninstall build 6.1.2.1224 and use an earlier version, instead..

i don't know why foxit has not pulled build 6.1.2.1224 from distribution, after people have complained endlessly about the innumerable bugs in the program, and, after innumerable patches, it still is all screwed up.. it seems that everyone at foxit is on a 6 month vacation..

personally, i am using build 5.4.5.0114 which can be downloaded from "filehippo.com"..

@redwolfe98s,

For the program does not close properly issue, could you please go to 'Control Panel'->'Add/Remove Programs' to check if you have Cloud Reading installed? If you did, please uninstall it and see if it helps. Thank you.
