Apple is downgrading iTunes back to 10.6

Funny point this morning, the iTunes application on the Apple site is back to version 10.6 (March 7th, 2012) The latest version 10.6.1.7 was released on March 28th ;)

Based on some Apple forums feedbacks, it appears that 10.6.1 is having a lot of bugs (pb of sync, break Apple TV link etc)


Therefore, Soft2base will revert back to 10.6 as well.

EDIT (Apr 24): Apple sounds to have serious cache or web cluster issues as the iTunes download page is constantly moving from 10.6 to 10.6.1 and back. So this last version will be re-integrated soon

sun.com is back online - Java links updated

sun.com is now back online, the catalog has been restored to use links from javadl.sun.com

Java RE links using a mirror while sun.com is offline

The Soft2base catalog is now using mirror Java links outside sun.com, until this domain is back online.

You can install Java RE and SDK on both x32 and x64 systems.

Sun.com is offline !!

The links to the Java Runtimes are down due to the sun.com unavailability.

A workaround will be put in place until sun.com is up again so that Soft2base can continue to install the JRE.

Don't ask me why SUN.COM is down, I don't know, that's enormous and frightening

Avast: silent install without Chrome

Soft2base can now run the silent install of Avast 7.0 without installing Chrome

We have removed Avast from the "top" list due to this new policy and the sizing of the application. Whenever possible (Genuine Windows), we recommand to use Microsoft Security Essentials instead.

Updated: Flash Player 11.2

Adobe Flash Player is now version 11.2

Disabled: Avira Antivirus

Avira 2012 is now bundled with the Ask Toolbar and is no longer providing a silent installer.

As Avast 7.0 and Microsoft Security Essentials are pretty fine and offer a real silent installer, Avira is now disabled (status=0 in the catalog).
