recipe not working for October/Monthly patch for common apps about cmpackager HOT 4 OPEN

Interesting. VLC is not downloading the latest because they haven't updated the page here: https://download.videolan.org/pub/videolan/vlc/last/win64/ with the latest version. I'll give it a bit of time before I rebuild the recipe

from cmpackager.

Hmm, I tested 7-Zip and iTunes, VLC and Notepad++ really quickly and they worked well for me:

Check and see if you are getting download errors in the powershell and the logs

from cmpackager.

thanks for looking into this @asjimene
so, this VLC is older version from your list, 3.0.18 has vulnerability, it should be 3.0.19

it has worked for Acrobat reader and Notepad ++ this morning, also, it has pulled latest Chrome too.
iTunes looks correct according to your list and no updates available for that.

i saw this when ran the script earlier where it didn't download latest package for VLC.
