Hi Nirina,
I don't have an answer as to to whether you can just update IVPROBIT,
but I had a similar problem with updating Stata 8. To avoid timeouts,
you can allow Stata more time to keep trying with the
set timeout1 #
set timeout2 #
commands. I think the # is in seconds and the upper limit is 32000,
but this might be different from version to version. In order to
update Stata 8 in the end, I needed to essentially try many times,
because I would almost always get a "unexpected end of file" error.
In the end, I just executed a .do file that said something like:
forvalues i=1/500 {
capture update all
}
Unfortunately, capture suppresses output, so you won't know when it's
done. Moreover, you can't break out of the do file, since capture
just moves to the next line if you click break. There's probably a
way around these things, but I didn't bother, since I just ran this do
file overnight, and in the morning, Stata was indeed updated. I don't
know how many times it had to try.
I hope this helps.
