Update fail error trap?

[Lickydog]

When enabling the Updater feature, you can specify a URL - even if this does not specify an ini, the MSI builds correctly and using the updater /checknow reports the product is up to date.

Do you need to specify the update ini on the webserver - if not how do you determine whether there are updates?

Many thanks

Hi,

The ini file on the webserver has all informations about the updates, so you have to update it on each installer update. Even the first release has to be written in that ini file.

The local configuration ini has only informations where the update ini can be found (and some other settings).

OK... that's understood - then it does appear to be a defect:

Create an AIP project with updater enabled.
The URL to the updates ini set to http://myserver.com/myupdatesfolder/

(note absence of ini filename at end of URL)

Compile the MSI and install the product/updater - you then then run a check from the updater.exe - the software will always appear up to date.

Is this an issue that you can trap by assessing the end of the URL for .ini?

Cheers

Ian
