Dell E5507 not pulling latest BIOS #8

Closed mhouston100 closed 4 years ago

mhouston100 commented 4 years ago

Using Version 6.4.5 and attempting to pull latest BIOS for Dell E5507, nothing happens, it just skips the BIOS.

Checking the download page, the new BIOS downloads exist:

But the tool just finds nothing.

Other models, Dell included are working fine, you can see the 5501 download in the log find the correct version etc.

This comes up now and again, and all I can do is point out that the lists are provided by the OEM. Again in this instance, there is no 5507 link in the XML provided;

The alternative is to scrap / parse html pages, which is unreliable and prone to break hence I moved away from that method quite a few years ago. Dell update their XML feeds typically once a month so keep trying ;)

No sweat, I assumed that it would be the case, the others are all working.

Yeah trying to head down the 'scraping HTML' path with a company like Dell would be a nightmare.

I'll report it to our Dell account manager and see if they have some sort of channel they can report it up.

Thanks for getting back so fast!
