Trying to update Miktex 2.9.65 with Biber 2.8 #37

I cannot reproduce this. My test case:
No observations. The log files contain no error messages. |

Thanks for getting back to me Christian, but why would it be asking for
that init file? Can you point me in the direction on how to fix this
installation bug?

Hi Christian, I have been through the log files and it states
miktex-pdfsig.exe is not in the location (does not exist) and did not come
with the Miktek update I did. I am considering uninstalling Miktex and redo
with a fresh install and see what happens.

I have deleted and reinstalled Miktek 2.9.6520 from scratch. It seems the
update to get Biber 2.8 is not installing miktex-pdfsig.exe. Here is what I
am updating:
[image: Inline image 1]
Here is the chunk from the log file where it fails:
2017-11-22 14:47:44,058-0800 WARN initexmf - The link target "C:\Program
Files\MiKTeX 2.9\miktex/bin/x64\miktex-pdfsig.exe" does not exist.
2017-11-22 14:47:44,090-0800 FATAL initexmf - Windows API error 5: Access
is denied.
I have went on the ctan repository and can't find miktex-pdfsig.exe there
either:
http://ctan.math.washington.edu/tex-archive/systems/win32/
miktex/tm/packages/
Can you send or tell me where to get miktex-pdfsig.exe so I can place it in
my tree and see if that fixes the install?
Thanks so much for your time.
-Darryl.

Thanks Christian. I've wasted about 4 hours now reading issues about this
and trying to debug it, and I know you have responded a few times also.
The files the updater is accessing is obviously not the ones you have
fixed.
What should I do now?

a few days ago so I am wondering why you still see the warning in the log
files.

Bug report
I am using the Miktex updater to update the Biber program from 2.7 to 2.8 in order to build my bibliography using biblatex. By default Biber 2.7 installed since just updated the Miktek 2.9 package on Nov 20, 2017. I have Windows 10.
When I try and update from the Miktex updater I get the error:
Sorry, but something went wrong:
The executed process did not succeed.
fileName="C:\Program Files\MikTeX2.9\miktex\bin\x64\initexmf.exe", exitCode="1"
As a secondary attempt, I downloaded the biber.exe executable directly and after copying the required cygintl-2.dll, cygintl-0.dll, cygwin1.dll it was requesting into C:\Windows\System32 I get the error:
The application was unable to start correctly (0x000007b). Click OK to close the application.
Please advise,
-Darryl.
