Meta analyse with STATA 15

[Kossi ABALO]

Hi,
I have some problem with my new version of STATA 15, of course in the old versions it was very easy to do meta analyse with the commande "metan" after updating the software.
With this new version that I got the last week, when I am doing "update all" I obtain error message :

. update all
(contacting http://www.stata.com)
connection timed out -- see help r(2) for troubleshooting
http://www.stata.com did not respond or is not a valid update site
r(2);

In the help for r(2) error I found a way to prolonged the time for the site connection by running:

. set timeout1 180
. set timeout2 180

Unfortunately I obtain again the same code error.

Is there another way to do meta analyse with that new version of STATA15?
Someone can help me please?

There are several user-written programs for meta-analysis in Stata.

Assuming your new version was correctly acquired and posed no problem with the installation, this situation can happen when we are using some sort of "protected" Wi Fi connection.

Being this so, just try again elsewhere. It happens to me a couple of times, mostly when I'm under a protected Wi Fi connection.

If it is not the case, you should contact Stata's technical support for that matter.
