Another post indicates problems arise due to the program not checking the extension of the image – so if there were images of same name but different extensions, this causes problems.
Solution by editing on line of code in force-regenerate-thumbnails.php

I did this but still got the same error- failure at image 23 and again at 75, however regenerating continues to progress farther than previously now at 30%

Update – Troubleshooting has narrowed it down to entering Shipping Address option – “Same as billing address”
If I enter the full shipping address details instead of ‘same as’ then it does progress to PayPal. So I turned OFF that option so it isn’t presented.
Not a fix, but a workaround.

I’d still love to know how to fix this.

Have you tried, disabling/uninstalling then reinstalling?

Good chance this will correct things

Thank you for your reply. For the benefit of other readers –

1. Without any email or transaction detail, I you can’t locate my order.

2. All your products have annual licenses which is valid for 1 year from the purchase date. After 1 year, I would need to renew the license in order to receive updates and support.

3. You assure me it wasn’t a lifetime license as you don’t offer lifetime licenses.

4. Version 1.9.1 was released 5 years ago. So as my license is now expired, I need to re-purchase a new license of Smart Manager Pro.

5. Yes, the latest version will work with WP eCommerce.

I have purchased, downloaded, installed and activated Smart Store Manager – and it works a treat !

5. And just to confirm – the latest Smart Manager works with WooCommerce, but does it also work with latest WP eCommerce?

Related to my default /tmp/ directory not assigned in the config files.

Insert

define( ‘WP_TEMP_DIR’, ABSPATH . ‘tmp/’) ;
Into your wp-config.php and your problem will be fixed.

I am getting similar errors –

Downloading update from https://downloads.www.ads-software.com/plugin/better-wp-security.4.0.2.zip…

I have a Premium Support Token purchased from a few months ago.
The link to use it https://bit51.com/support/ now redirects to https://ithemes.com/security/

Seems I can’t even use the paid support to fix this….

(Matt from foo plugins responded promptly with offer or refund.
Thanks Matt)

Not only did the upgrade fail, but I no longer have sufficient permissions to access Better WP Security settings

So, I deactivated the plug in and uninstalled it.
Now – try and install the new 4.0.2 fresh

ERROR – Missing a temporary folder.

.

I hope you made a backup before ‘updating’
