This problem is caused by your AntiVirus?, either locally or at the HTTP gateway. Since the module is being deleted from the archive, the svn update fails.

(win xp) Hi i have a similar problem although my command prompt gives me a slightly different error:

Updating the Metasploit Framework...................................................... svn: 'modules\auziliary\scanner\smb' is not a working copy directory................... svn: Working copy '_' locked........................................................... svn: run 'svn cleanup' to remove locks <type 'svn help cleanup' for details>........... Press any key to continue . . .

did you resolve your problem? Any tips on mine?

Usually this is caused by AV removing part of the SVN repository.

Try deleting the %appdata%\msf3 folder, then creating a new one and re-checkout of the SVN repository to grab the latest version from the SVN trunk. On the command line:

mkdir msf3
cd msf3
svn co http://metasploit.com/svn/framework3/trunk/

in the command line instructions...how do i execute the command? svn co http://metasploit.com/svn/framework3/trunk/ i keep getting an error saying svn is not a recognized command i know it's supposed to checkout the latest changes and save them to the directory that i'm currently in : msf3 in appdata

Should i have to specify a path after /trunk/?

if so how do i do that? please let me know
