Unzipping Downloaded PatchesAll SU Patch files that you download from My Oracle Support are compressed ZIP files. Before you run Smart Update to apply the patches, you must decompress these ZIP files using the appropriate tool for your environment (such as 7-Zip or WinZip for Windows, or tar or gunzip for Linux).When you unzip each file, the patch JAR file and a README.txt file are extracted.

When extracting the files, note that you must extract the files into the directory from which you intend to apply the patches. This is the location that you set as the Patch Download Directory of Smart Update, as described in Alternatively, you can extract the files to a subdirectory, and then move the patch JAR file to the patch download directory. Obtaining Required AccessBefore you start Smart Update, ensure that you have access to all required resources. Specifically:.Ensure that you have proper write privileges for the patch download directory, particularly if this directory resides on a remote disk drive or computer.Ensure that you have the privileges required to access the target product installation directories. The ability to access these directories is especially important if you are patching product installations on networked or remotely mounted disk drives.
Choosing a Patch Download DirectoryBefore you apply patches that you have downloaded from My Oracle Support, Oracle recommends that you choose an appropriate location to serve as the patch download directory. Store all downloaded patches in this directory.The patch download directory is a single-level directory or folder that Smart Update uses to determine which patches are available to be applied.
Season 20 begins March 13, shortly after our next Diablo III patch. Read on to learn more about the brand-new Season buff, three brutally feral new class sets, and a handful of item reworks coming in Patch 2.6.8! Download RStudio RStudio is a set of integrated tools designed to help you be more productive with R. It includes a console, syntax-highlighting editor that supports direct code execution, and a variety of robust tools for plotting, viewing history, debugging and managing your workspace.
Before you start applying patches, ensure that you have designated a directory to serve this function, as described in this section.A patch download directory is created automatically when you upgrade to Smart Update 3.3.0, but you may not want to use it in its default location. For example, your organization might encourage or require you to use a particular location for storing patches that are downloaded from software vendors. This location might be a centralized repository, or a set of cache directories labeled for certain configurations. Displaying Patch Sets in the Downloaded Patches PanelSmart Update lets you select a display mode for Smart Update patch sets shown in the Downloaded Patches panel of the main Smart Update window.
Smart Update patch sets are a group of patches that are bundled into a single patch. These should not be confused with Oracle Patch Set releases (version upgrades) for WebLogic Server, which can only be installed using an Upgrade installer.Choose Display patch sets and all constituent patches if you want to display an entry for each patch in a patch set you have installed, and an entry for the patch set itself.
(This is the default setting.).Choose Hide constituent patches when patch set is present and complete if you want to display only the entry for the patch set that you have installed, hiding entries for individual patches that belong to the set. Setting HTTP Proxy InformationIf the system on which you are running Smart Update is located behind a firewall, you might need to specify one of the following options so that you can download patches. These settings apply only to the Smart Update client self-update mechanism. Smart Update can check to see if an updated version of the Smart Update client is available, and if so, prompts you to download it. Smart Update then updates itself to the new version.Use HTTP ProxySelect this option if you want to use an HTTP Proxy server for the download.
To use an HTTP Proxy server, you must specify the following settings in Smart Update, before logging into the download server for the first time. Subsequently you do not need to change the settings.In the Login dialog box, click Work Offline, and specify the following:.Host—The name or IP address of the proxy server.Port—The port number of the proxy server.Use AuthenticationSelect this option if the HTTP Proxy server you are using requires server-side authentication.
If you select this option, you must specify:.Username—A valid username required by the proxy server.Password—A valid password for the user.
Hi,Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.I would suggest you to run Hardware and device troubleshooter and check if it helps:b. Type troubleshooting in the search bar, click ontroubleshooting.c. Click on Hardware and Sound, click on Hardware and Devices.d.
Follow the steps from the wizard to run the troubleshooter.For reference:Install USB 3.0 and other USB devicesHope this information helps and let us know the status of the issue we will be glad to help you. Regards, Yaseer. Hi,I'm afraid that there is no solution.There is lot's of people reporting problems with W10 and Prolific devices (based on popular PL2303 adapter).Myself, I've the same problems with scrolling LED Badges, and USB to COM dongles. All this devices use a PL2303 to provide a connection to an USB port, but inside, they are RS232-like interface build (and appear as a COM port in your operating system). Whenyou plug the device into USB, it is well recognized by W10 and it try to load the Prolific driver. After testing.
FOUND THE SOLUTION!Indeed, when installing W10, the device driver for PL-2303 is the latest version. You can check it, using the configuration panel: watch the COM and LPT section, you should have the 'Prolific USB-to-Serial Comm (COM X)'. Click onproperties, and get the details:the version driver (ser2pl.sys or ser2pl64.sys) should be something like 3.6.78.350but this one doesn't work anymore with old PL-2303 hardware.Sometimes, installing the latest version of drivers solve the problem, but in this case, this is the opposite.The latest version doesn't work anymore with old hardware, and you need to downgrade the driver.If you have previously used the PL-2303 (with W7) and upgrade to W10, it's simple because the previous versions of the drivers are still on your computer. To downgrade, use the configuration panel, choose COM and LPT and right click: the first choice shouldbe 'update driver' (or something similar: sorry, but I've the French version, and hope my translation is understandable).

On the next windows, choose the second option 'Look for a driver on my computer'. Another windows appear, and select the bottom option:'choose from a list on my computer'. You should now have a list showing all versions of the driver available. By example:- Prolific USB-to-Serial Comm Port Version: 3.3.3.114- Prolific USB-to-Serial Comm Port Version: 3.4.48.272- Prolific USB-to-Serial Comm Port Version: 3.6.78.350You should select the old 3.3 (from 2009).Later version, like 3.4 or 3.6 report error code 10.I have tried with 3.3.2.102 and 3.3.3.114 and both works with old PL-2303 HXA/X hardware.If you don't have the old versions of drivers, you can tried to install them from the minidisc provided with your product.
On mine, I have two programs (32 and 64 bits) called 'PL-2303 WIN7 Driver Installer.exe'. Launch this program,it will install the driver. But, as soon as you plug the device on USB port, you W10 will revert to the latest version (3.6). If you watch the configuration panel, you will see the COM port coming OK, but then switch off because of error 10. It don't care,because the old version is now available in the list, and you can proceed as mentioned above. Once manually set, the device driver remain in the 3.3 release.Tested on W10 family and pro, 32/64 bits.The solution for old PL-2303 HXA/X: use a driver release older than 3.4.Edit: The procedure above works, but only temporary.
Each time you turn your computer off, the latest driver is reloaded due to windows auto-update (or if you unplug and plug againthe device into USB port).To avoid that, a recent turnaround exist and has been published by Microsoft. It's a tool namedwushowhide.diagcab ('Show and Hide Update'). It allow to inhibit the auto-update for a particular program or driver (Prolific in our case).For more informations and where to download this tool, take a look at this article:I have tested it and it work fine. The only problem with it, is that, it reload the latest driver when you plug the device on a never used USB port. So, if you change place of connection, you should manually set the driver to 3.3,but you have to do that only the first time you used this port. Next time, the driver remain to 3.3 and never upgrade to 3.6. Had the same troubles after WIN10 clean install.
My device had chip version PL-2303XA/HXA which according Prolific is EOL and discontinued as of WIN8.Bought new device with PL-2303HXD chip, according Prolific supports WIN10 (32/64bit).Installed driver v3.6.81.357 09/04/15.
