Looping returns with update to 5739

[Jbob]

Here is my experience.

New computer OS load. WinXP Pro/sp2 fully patched. Running MSAS v .615.
No other versions have been on this machine. Initial load and update to
5735 defs was ok. Incremental update to 5737 defs had no issues. Today
update to 5739 and looping returns.

What I saw:

3 Problematic files in MSAS folder were not updated after update. I am
pretty sure my cache was clear before this attempt. I know there were any
previous MSAS update files there regardless. I attempted to clear the cache
and retry. No help. I cleared the cache again, shutdown MSAS and
restarted. No help. I then cleared my IE and Firefox cache and rebooted
computer. This time the update worked and verified the files had indeed
changed. No more looping.

Also seeing a different error message that I do not remember seeing:
"Wintrust"

That explains why the definitions update was failing on your PC: the
cryptographic hash checksum on the downloaded definitions file did not match
the expected value provided in a separately downloaded catalogue file.

I guess these two files were out of sync on the server.
